OK, I give: I discovered that in safe mode, you have a /PRO style 
explorer display and so it is fairly easy to tweak the access permissions 
on things.  But I've run into a bunch of problems:

1) Where's the group management stuff?  I can't seem to set up groups or 
assign them to user accts...

2) Where's the policy management stuff?  Right now, it won't let my 
limited acct access the network: there's a policy about requiring a 
password for that.  I'd like to disable that, but I can't find a hint of 
the policy-ness.

3) Can you change the owner of a file?  I have a whole filesystem for 
"me" [and one for my wife] and I wanted to change the owner of the file 
systems to me and her... but apparently I cannot...  Very annoying!!

[as a side note, you were correct: my "administrator" account did *NOT* 
have a password.. it does now... :o)

[as a second side note: boy is it HARD to get into safe mode.  It looks 
like you have like a 1/10 second or something to hit F8: hitting it 
*constantly* as I was booting up, it took me three tries to actually get 
into safe mode].
