Windows 2000 Log On Password

[Christine]

I have a computer at home used strictly for playing
games. It is never turned off. We had a power outage.
Afterwards I powered the computer back on and it is asking
for a "Windows Log On Password". I don't have the
password or ever recall setting one up. How can I get
past this log on window and use my computer again ?

There is not a 'backdoor' to get in. Check the below link for more

There is a way out with PASSWARE software, try to get it it.
There is an option to create disks that reset the ADMIN password.

Try logging on with a user name of "Administrator" (without quotes) and a blank
password. You might be lucky. Otherwise, this can work:-
