    Reboot to Safe Mode, select Administrator, leave password
    blank.
    Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel and
    delete/change the
    password.

    You do not need to reinstall if you forgot the admin or
    any other password.

    There is a boot disk you can download at:
    http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html

    that will let you reset the password of any account on
    NT4, Windows2000 or
    XP.

    Just follow all the default settings which are for the
    admin account.

    For an Win2k AD domain controller, you need to do more
    than that:
