Okay, I'm assuming that you are running Windows XP. Go to start -> Run -> Type in msconfig and hit okay-> then go to the boot.ini tab and hit the selection that says boot in safe mode. exit out and it will ask you to restart. on the reboot it will let u log on to a no password administrator account labeled Administrator, log onto it and got to Start -> Control panel -> Users/accounts or watever it is -> Select your account and hit delete and when it asks to back up your documents on someone elses user do it onto the Administrator account that you are on and then go to Create Account -> and Create an administrator account by the same name of the previously limited one. then copy your files over to your new administrator account. then go to Start -> Run and type in msconfigg and hit okay and do not go to any othe tabs, just the one it is already on and select Normal Start-up and then exit out and it will ask you to restart, say yes and let it boot up, then enjoy your new Administrator account

There are settings in Windows that allow an administrator to restrict user access to certain options and settings. Your account might belong to the main user of the computer, but there is always an administrator account that an administrator can use to restrict access to certain features of Windows.\n\nIf your account has administrative privilages, you can access these normally hard to find settings through the Group Policy editor. To launch this, do the following.\n\n1. Click on Start\n2. Click on Run\n3. Type "gpedit.msc"\n4. Click on OK or press Enter.\n\nOnce the Group Policy editor is launched, you can change a lot of settings (and undo the restriction you have met). The Internet Explorer settings are under:\n\nComputer Configuration\n  |- Administrative Templates\n    |- Windows Components\n      |- Internet Explorer\n\nand\n\nUser Configuration\n  |- Administrative Templates\n    |- Windows Components\n      |- Internet Explorer\n\n\nMake sure that you understand what settings you are changing. The Group Policy editor gives you information as to what each setting controls.
