Thank you very much for the reply. I was not aware that I can add admin users with UBCD4WIN and the like. Sounds like this is my best option. Yes, my login is Domain only and there are no admin accts with no pwd prompt. I will prep a UBCD4WIN and try that method.
At worst, if they find out, i would only get a slap on the wrist. I plan to install a virtual environment, so i would not mess up the machine or introduce any virus to the network.
Thanks again!
