Wipe the disk and reinstall Windows. If you didn't get the Win2000
install CDs, you got ripped off. If you still can, go back and ask for
them. If you can't get the CDs, google on "windows 2000 password
changer" and "PWD_CHNG.exe" and "PwdChangerBootableFloppyDEMO.exe". One
of those will get you a program that will allow you to reset the password.
However, you will still be without the W2K install CDs, and since the
odds are that sooner or later you will need them. So without them you're
snookered.
I'm surprised they sold you the laptops without blanking the disk first,
actually.
