Win2K Admin rights lost! HELP!

C

C A JUTRAS

I don't know how I did it but I did.
During install I set up Administrator with a password. No prob there. I then
added a user group for general family use. It originally had Admin rights. I
changed that to Power User level. On next power up I tried to sign on as
Administrator. Low and behold there was no Admin!! Also family group has no
Admin rights.

Am I in a re-install situation here?

Thanks

Not entirely, I've heard mention that there's a Linux bootdisk
floating around on the internet that can reset the admin password to a
known password.

Have a google for it and see what you come up with. Otherwise I think
it is a reinstall situation.
