Administrator Locked Out

[Guest]

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Somehow, the password for administrator is no longer valid.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?

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

It turns out that my daughter DID change the password yesterday afternoon
without telling anyone.

Everything under control again.

Happy Holidays!
