BaRT PE Live Windows

I was not sure if I should post this in Security. Anyways

My OS: Win XP SP1a with NTFS.

My Question:
If someone has this live windows CD but do not have admin rights on a WinXP machines then he can simply run windows from Bart PE CD and get full read write access to all the NTFS partitions by using a freeware plugin like "A43 file management Utility"

Here are some screenshots I tested on my machine and I'm the Admin.

Great!! Thank you for the info :-) Softwares like CIA commander can also be used to reset the Admin Password. What other ways?

Anyways thanks mate.
