Administrator password for windows 2000 for nt

[Guest]

We have an old IBM Aptiva that we've had in storage for some time. I've recently had a need to access some files on this old system, but cannot remember my administrator name or password to start windows 2000. I do not have the installation disks or CD-ROM. Is there some way to bring up windows with out the password or reset it w/o having to reinstall windows?

Hi

I have the same problem, but where can I get Pwdump2. (the new version is
dated 3/28/2000 with a file size of 36,864 bytes)..


The link in the article for windows 2k comes up not found and the zip file
download only has a 1997 version of the file.
