The usual process under Win2000 is to press Ctrl+Alt+Del,
then enter the word "Administrator" in the first box, the correct
password in the second box, and select the local machine
name in the third box (if you have one).

A faster way is to start a Command Prompt, then type this:

runas /user:%ComputerName%\Administrator cmd

You will be prompted for a password. If you enter it correctly
then you get another Command Prompt, this time under
"Administrator".
