Administrator password lost - W2k Pro

[Ed]

Hi,

I have a notebook running w2k Pro at home, for some years I used that
with the Administrator password saved, so when I had to turn it on, It was
not necessary to supply the password.
The problem is that I tried to put it in a workgroup and after when I
started the notebook, it asked me for the password.
I´ve tried all my possibilities on password and I wasn´t successfully.
Is there any way or a program that can recovery this password ?

ps.: I´ve ever used only the Administrator user, I don´t have any other

tks
Ed

Try this FAQ for starters: http://securityadmin.info/faq.asp#password

If none of the options there are helpful to you, you can pay for a copy of
the Winternals Emergency Recovery Utility:

tks Paco

It´s worked, very good, I´ve generated the diskboot and the password was
reset

tks Laura for helping me,
but if you want, try to see
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/
it´s probably a non-"microsoft world" tool

I've tried that and it really works

[Need Help TOO!]

I have had a problem with win2000 requesting a password,
when we have never used one before! Have you found a
solution? Our problem started this morning and we can't
use that computer! I have tried everything! Please
respond to me @ (e-mail address removed)

Thanks!
