It seems to me that your privileges have been limited for a reason. Care to tell us why you want to override the administrator?

Safe mode?

1 Up.

I know of an excuse for him to get out of this accusation, but I'll hold it back.

You ask the administrator to enter their password. Most administrators I have met are reasonable as long as you are.

Thanks for that amazingly productive post.

And yes, I would go with skip's idea. If they feel you should be allowed Administrator rights, they'll give them to you. Restrictions are there for a reason.

Ask your friend's parents to install the flash player for you then (but make sure it's installed so all users have access to it).
