| 314592 | 2005-01-16 00:33:00 | Have you got a passwork reset floppy? Or someone else who has 2k that can get one for you? I use Windows XP so I don't know if a password reset floppy applies to 2k... | Edward (31) | ||
| 314593 | 2005-01-16 01:04:00 | hey there, can you boot into safe mode?, i think you can use the XP password reset for 2k aswell but im not 100% sure after a quick google, i found this (techrepublic.com.com). im hoping you are being legit and this is YOUR system |

| 314594 | 2005-01-16 02:07:00 | It depends on how carefully the system was set up. Passwords are meant to stop you doing this. :D One essential component is a System administrator who doesn't forget his password, to cater for users who do. If the User shown in the box is "Administrator" you probably are in trouble. If not, try changing the name to "Administrator" and entering a null password (just <Enter>). If that works, you have an insecure system, but you can then change any user passwords. If you need to reinstall, just boot from DOS (or a W95/98 floppy) and look for a directory called "I386". Running winnt.exe will do the reinstall. |
