Carl, Yeah, their website is as bad as their IS dept. I got myself in a pile of crap some years ago (3 to be exact) when I managed to stumble my way into god-mode for my user account. I managed to guess a user password for an account that transpired to have full nwadmin rights (I didn't know what the account was at the time but the username and password were the same). I shoulda stopped there, but no, I didn't and got pulled through the wringer when they discovered a student with admin rights and a $150 print balance.
