I simply don't tolerate it. If IT give me a computer without admin - I politely tell them to make me admin, or I am formatting it and taking it off their system all together. So far only 3 IT pro's haven't believed me. One thought he was a smarty pants because he had locked BIOS and the hard-drive. He didn't have a smile on his face when I opened up the laptop, swapped the hard-drive and popped the bios battery. Even took it to the CIO and CEO (I voided warranty). They came to me and I asked them which was worth more - my salary or their laptop. It's a no brainer when you put it in that context.

50% of the guys in IT are great, and knowledgeable people who a reasonable job. When I deal with these guys its good - we have an understanding, if I fuck up its my fault. Common sense prevails.

50% are over-paid morons. Whom think they have some kind of power.

i assume it wouldnt network, usb or cd boot?
Linux the thing!

Old school...doesn't work on decent corporate laptops. Shit..even on some cheapo acer aspires you have to short 3 pins on the motherboard.

Ultimate Boot CD has some BIOS password cracking tools. I'm not sure how well they work on a current model BIOS though.
