Hello Don,

If a user password is lost, forgotten, or unknown, the only method to reset
the password is for the administrator (or a user with administrative access)
to log on and reset the password in Computer Management. There is no method
in the Windows 2000 security model to bypass, disable, or reset the
password.

If the administrator password is lost, forgotten, or unknown, access to the
computer may not be obtainable and the operating system may need to be
reinstalled.
