I did but I made no discriminatory reference to staff of non-profit
versus other organisations. You did.
Thank you we will try that.
Just for the record, you were the one who said "if they are worth their salt"... not me.

What has profit/non-profit got to do with this? Are you suggesting
that those working for non-profit organisations are generally
incompetent? I work for several such organisations and I find
that their competency in any area, not just information technology,
matches that of commercial organisations. I found highly
competent people in both, and a few challenged ones too . . .
In my previous reply I suggested that you might push the IT
staff at the donor company to try a little harder, to give you at
least one password that works. If they are unwilling or unable
to do this then you can reset the administrator's password
with a bootdisk from here. It's scary stuff but it works:

That is not very helpful? I need a solution, not commentary on the adequacy of the IT workers at a non-profit.

If they are worth their salt then they created two admin
accounts on each PC, just in case one goes bad.
They gave that to here and it doesn't work either.
Any other thoughts?

She needs to ask the system administrator at her office for the password that goes with the local administrator's account. It's like getting a car: It's not much good without the car keys.
My mother just got a computer from her office that they were going to throw away, but instead they let her have it.
It has windows 2000 and was part of a domain. Since it was no longer part of the domain, I went to "System Properties" -> Computer Name tab and de-selected the domain and changed it to a workgroup. Then the PC asked to reboot.
Once it came up, we can no longer login. Her user id she had does not let her in.
What is the next step?
