If you can log onto the server, can you do with admin rights? If you can
then you should be able to change the passwords/set access rights/etc
for any resource on the server.
Can you confirm, when you say "access the server" what exactly do you
mean? Are you trying to connect to a share on the server? When you say
the server is running 2000pro, I assume you mean 2000server? 2000pro is
a client OS and as such is a different beast to a 2000 server.
