Better still, make my own userid a member of administrators group.

89082 2002-10-19 09:03:00 I have a password change boot disk for win 2k around here somewhere, just boot the floppy, type in your username, then type the new password and it changes it for you (easy as 123), let me know if you want it.

89083 2002-10-19 09:04:00 Sometime over the last 3-4 months there was a similar post for a lost/failed W2K password.

If I recall correctly, the answer was a little more complex than those suggested here and involved information from a third-party site.

Sorry that I can't recall more but try a search on F1 and hopefully the previous post will come up.

Cheers
