[wplug] samba pdc sort of off topic

[John Harrold]

howdy.

So I decided that managing passwords on our two windows machines was
becoming a pain in the arse, so I configured our samba server to be a PDC.
On the Windows XP machine I told it to use our PDC and it logs in fine to
the PDC. However, I somehow disabled my ability to login to the local
machine. 

I don't use windows much, so I'm not quite sure how I managed to do this.
Everything with the PDC works fine, except if I want to change the settings
on the local machine I don't have permissions. As a consequence of not
being able to login locally, I cannot make any configuration changes. Can
someone tell me how to regain administrative access to this machine? Either
a boot disc solution, or perhaps giving one of my users permissions on the
PDC which would allow me to change the system configuration on the XP side?
