My boss was in the office while I was slagging the IT guy for doing a
poor job setting up the network & systems.
I got pulled up to explain what I thought was wrong with the setup. To
cut a long story short, my boss made a bet with me that I can't break
into the stand alone computer by the end of my shift (9hrs). If I do
by-pass the admin security he'll pay for a meal and discuss the
possibility of working with the IT guy to make sure that everything is
good, if not I've gotta buy drinks for everyone at the next work
function (all night).

Problem: Computer running Windows XP Pro.
Conditions: Create a new user account (admin) without removing access
the the current admin account. Must use resources from the office or
internet.

Any suggestions?
