[TUT] Creating an Administrator Account - Works For School Laptops [TUT] - senorheff - Oct 11, 2012
I have personally tested this on the Australian DET Laptops. I am confident in saying it should work on most other laptops too.
Code
1. Press the power button to turn on your computer.
2. While your on the screen with the animated Microsoft logo press and hold the power button until it turns off.
3. Press the power button to turn on again.
4. You should now see the option to launch Start Up Repair. Select the option and press enter.
5. Run Startup Repair.
6. You should see a blue bar that moves across the screen repeatedly. Above it should be messages that say “searching for problems” or something.
7. The message should change to “Attempting repairs” within a few minutes.
8. Leave the computer running. This message should be there for 10-40 minutes depending on your computer.
9. After 10-40 minutes a message should pop up that says “start up repair could not fix the problem”. Click the arrow next to “show problem details”.
10. Scroll to the bottom and click the link to the .txt file.
11. Notepad should open up with the file.
12. In notepad click File -> Open.
13. You can now use the file browser to perform the magnifier.exe hack.
14. Go to C:\Windows\system32 and find magnifier.exe and rename it to magnifier2.exe or something.
15. Copy the cmd.exe and rename the copied file to magnifier.exe
16. Restart the computer and at the login screen and open the Magnifier tool.
17. A cmd windows should open up. You may now create an admin account.To add a user to the local Administrators group.
At a command prompt, type:
net localgroup Administrators /add <domain>\<username>
To remove a user from the local Administrators group
At a command prompt, type:
net localgroup Administrators /delete <domain\username>
DISCLAIMER: The majority of this is not of my own making. I have modified parts of it.

Errr....
Bump for recognition?
I would like this to be known so it can help people :)
Also the file is called Magnify.exe, not magnifier.exe . Terribly sorry for that.
I can't edit the main post either :/

EDIT:
This method works on UK ASuS EEE Netbooks running Windows 7
(ASUS Eee PC X101CH - Atom 1.6 GHz - 1 GB Ram)

Thanks!
What net books do you get there? As in, what model, OS etc.

They are EEE netbooks but the stickers have been removed and we have very limited access So I couldn't find the model number.

Another for recognition?
Like I said before, I would like this to be a known method :)

This is a public tutorial and this method will be patched very soon by The Department Of Edcuation And Training.
Much more efficient and secure methods such as the java applet hack have been released.

Sounds pretty cool. I'll have to try it out.

Is there a tutorial like this for iMacs?
