Logon error.

[Brandon Swindell]

I created another user name and password on my computer so
that I wouldn't use admin all the time ( I heard that
wasn't safe) now I need to enable a wireless adaptor but
it would let me becuase I don't have rights and to see the
admin (me) but i have forgotten my passowrd.... anyway
around that? I don't want to loose everything... some
stuff i can't redo.

Hi

If a user password is lost, forgotten, or unknown, the only method to reset
the password is for the administrator (or a user with administrative
access) to log on and reset the password in Computer Management. There is
no method in the Windows 2000 security model to bypass, disable, or reset
the password. If the administrator password is lost, forgotten, or
unknown, access to the computer may not be obtainable and the operating
system may need to be reinstalled."

If you are logging on locally, there is some password
tools on the net to blank the admin password. Google
password crack or something
