Bypassing WIN2000 Logon password

[raven]

I recently removed a WIN2000 Pro workstation from a
domain and placed it in a workgroup so that it could
access the internet at a different. I lost power and the
computer shut down. Now I am unable to log in to the
workstation with the original username and password. I am
really lost as to what happened since I did nothing to
change the username or password. I can boot to floppy and
see the entire system but I can not log on to WIN2000. Is
there any way to get past the logon screen without the
password? Is there any registry that I can reset from the
inside? Help?

THanks

Is there not a local admin account that you setup before
joining the computer to the domain after building it ?

That one should work to log it on, although if you have
forgotten the local admin account or password you will run
into difficulties.

You cannot bypass the login screen! You'll have to hack your security
account database.

Unzip the file, burn the ISO to CD and boot with it - it's a small Linux
distro.
