My Admin user is gone!?

Dear all of you!

Four days ago i left my Mac at my office, because it had to be set up for being compatible with Active Directory. Now, i have got it back, but unfortunately my Mac was not able to connect with Active Directory. But even worse: My Mac is now completely out of order.

When i turn my Mac on, the only profil available is called Admin (i later found out that this profile was created by the guy who tried to set up the AD). I can't find my own account in the "users" part of the system utilities, but when i search for my name in finder my whole profile shows up. Unfortunately, i can not enter the folders with my name on, because i have to type the admin code. When i do that, however, it does not work. I checked with the Mac guy and he assured me that he had not changed the password.

How can i exit this stupid Admin user and enter my own? Would it help to reset the admin password (My DVD drive is broke, so i can not insert the mac os x cd)?

I hope that you can help me!

Marc
 
As a User (not Admin) of that Mac you trouble shooting is limited. Contact that "Admin" and see if he can help you.
