A good way to bypass account restrictions is to boot with Knoppix, a
Linux distro that runs from cd. You will need to do this on a machine
that has two cd drives, one of which being a burner. Slave the hard
drive with the data you need, boot with Knoppix, and burn the files to
cd-r with the k3b burning program.
