Hi

I have the same problem, but where can I get Pwdump2. (the new version is
dated 3/28/2000 with a file size of 36,864 bytes)..

The link in the article for windows 2k comes up not found and the zip file
download only has a 1997 version of the file.

recently had a need to access some files on this old system, but cannot
remember my administrator name or password to start windows 2000. I do not
have the installation disks or CD-ROM. Is there some way to bring up
windows with out the password or reset it w/o having to reinstall windows?
