    hi
    i have the same problem u have only with a desktop
    though. i changed the password and forgot. it was the
    administrator password. everyone said to reinstall win
    2000, i did that now i cant set a password and i tried to
    file share, and they are prompting me for a password and
    guess which one? the one that i forgot!! I NEED SERIOUS
    HELP. when u find a resolution, let me know. and i hate
    to reload\reformat because the user loses my files.
