Presuming he was logging onto the same domain name as the
rest of the company...
Attach the laptop to the network, browse the network until
you find the laptop, and try to log on as a memeber of the
Admins group.
If not, you should have a Recovery Agent do all the work.
Hope the first works for you, because the Recovery Agent
is time consuming. And you don't really want to know the
other alternative.
For a Recovery agent (just another user)
Open Computer Management.
In the console tree, in Local Users and Groups, click
Groups.
Click the group you want.
Click Action, and then click Properties.
Click Add.
Type the names of the users or groups you want to add in
the lower box, or select users or groups in the top box
and click Add.
If you want to validate the user or group names that you
are adding, click Check Names.
When you have added all the users you want, click OK.
Notes
To open Computer Management, click Start, point to
Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click
Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer
Management.
To remove a user from a local group, select the user in
Members, and then click Remove.
A user who belongs to a group has all the rights and
permissions granted to that group. If a user is a member
of more than one group, then the user has all the rights
and permissions granted to every group he or she belongs
to. For more information, see Related Topics.
You should not add a new user to the Administrators group
unless the user will perform only administrative tasks.
For more information, see Related Topics.
You can add user accounts from the local computer. If the
computer participates in a domain, you can add user
accounts and global groups from that domain and from
trusted domains.
