Booted my daughter's PC running Windows 2000 upon arriving home this
evening.

She is the only user on this machine and has administrator logon
privileges.

This PC is on a shared network for printing.

Somehow, the password for administrator is no longer valid. It used to
do an automatic logon, but stopped this evening at the login screen. I
know it was working this morning.

Is there a way to unlock the admin password, or do I have to place her
hard drive in my machine as a backup drive and move all her data to a
sub directory on my primary drive and then re-load W2000?

What a nuisance.

Any suggestions or ideas...please?
