Connect this Hard drive to an another PC with Windows 2000 installed, then browse the hard drive & delete the following file from this location
(windows 2000 root)\system32\config\sam
then reconnect the Hard drive to the previous computer and login with the blank password of Administrator.

for any further details you may e-mail to my E-mail add.
