Locked in a layout with no privileges - any way out?

:( :( My biggest blunder ever. In FM7, while using privileges to try to set up a layout where a patient would have access to no other layouts, I created a situation where I am in the layout with no privileges whatsoever, with no apparent ability to execute any scripts or file commands (ie, no ability to change to another account or to modify the privileges.) Is there any way out without re-creating the file?

Not that I've spent that much time trying to lock myself out of my own files, but I don't think you can create a file that has no [Full Access] account (save removing that account with FMD), and you can not remove privs or layout access from the Full Access privilege set.

So, I think your challenge is just to log in with the Full Access account (try holding down the shift-control or option keys on launch) and then escape out of any start up scripts that will lock you in a pause.
