To download the tool, it says this:

Note: "You must have administrative rights to run this tool on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP."

What does this mean?

Note: "You must have administrative rights to run this tool on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP."

It means that you are not an administrator to the machine. Is there someone else who uses that machine who is an admin?

Oh, ugh. When you (or whoever) installed the OS on the box you're taking it to, an account was set up with administrative authority on that box and a password put in. If your user account doesn't have administrative authority (i.e. can alter the registry and write to system areas) then you'll have to log in using the local administrator account.

If it's an ordinary, run-of-the-mill workstation, the local user probably does have admin authority - try a blank password if it prompts you. If not, whoever built the box will have to let you know how they configured it. Sorry.

Symantec tools always throws up the warning that you must be an administrator, even if you are an admin on the box.

Run the tool - if you get a error, you will need to login with the default Administrator account (hopefully you know the password!)
