Default Removing Norton Antivirus 2002

I am trying to uninstall Norton Antivirus 2002 and Norton Internet Security
2002 but when I try am told that I do not have administrator or supervisor
rights. I am logged on as administrator so I do not understand why I am
getting that message. I have purchased Norton Antivirus 2005 but can not load
it until I get the old program off. I Hewlett Packard online support told me
to reboot in safe mode and I could remove the program but that still did not
work. Does anyone have any idea how to remove this "flipping program"

Was NIS 2002 a Corporate or Personal edition?

You probably have password protection setup inside of
Norton and have not signed in as a NORTON
Administrator . . .
