password help

[Ron]

Someone gave me a computer with windows 2000. I cant get
into the system because I dont have a administrative
password.
Is there a way to get into the system without a password?

I think the answer to that is "No". Unless you know of another local system
account that has administrative rights, you're out of luck. If you must
access data on the system you could try to slave the harddrive to another
win2k machine and get to the data that way. That should work as long as none
of the data on that harddrive was encrypted.

Otherwise, you may have to reinstall the OS.
