Denied I'm afraid - goto the administrator and slap your friend - in that order.

the only user name that cant be deleted is the administrator name. this name can however be renamed but only by the administrator. the password for the administrator user name can change but only if the administrator changes it. The master password you speak of does not exsist if it does email me and tell me what it is and ps. follow the above suggestion. hope this helps.

Hi! Sorry there isn't a master password for WinNT, but you can reset ONLY the user-database with the WinNT installation disk (from CD-ROM or from the famous 3 floppies): reboot your PC, start the NTSetup and select to REPAIR a broken system (press R). Then select to repair ONLY the user-database (sorry I didn't remebmer the name!) and after (when you reboot) you should find a "new" list of users, as a WinNT just installed, but without damaging the configuration (i hope!). It's very simple ... good luck!

No master PW, but if you surf your way to the URL below you'll find a cool password cracker. Don't quote me, but I think there's a free trial period before you buy. Cool utility to have. Good luck
