I've had this problem before.. let me summarize:
People involved in a domain -
- Registrar ( the actual /owner/)
- The Billing contact ( for money, duh! )
- The admin contact ( for.. er.. admin? )
- The technical contact ( for nameserver lafdaas, usually )
The ideal scenario is for you to control atleast 2 of the 3 contacts, in
which case you can do anything you want fairly painlessly. In the event
that you hold neither contact, but you are the original registrant (the
organization/person that registered the domain) you can still change
domain information, but if the contacts (say some blackmailer) won't
authorize the change, you need to go thru a procedure with Network
Solutions which involves officially registering a dispute blah blah
blah...
I had a domain that was in my organization's name, but contacts were all
controlled by a blackmailer. We got the domain back, but after spending
several hours on net2phone with InterNIC (thanks Bhavin ;)
