My little brother erased the administrator name and put
his name, and then forgot the password. How do i go about
getting a new password or retrieving the old password.
Without the administrator I cant download anything unless
i have permission for the administrator. So if someone
knows what to do please Email me at
(e-mail address removed) thank you so much.

Hello, did you try erasing his name and typing in the name
Administrator and then use the previous password? If you
totally forgot it, it says in the documentation that comes
with MS Win-2K Pro, that if you lose the Administrator
password, then the only choice is to wipe the hardrive and
reinstall Win-2K over again!! (as well as all your
applications, etc.) I'd imagine there's a registry hack in
which you can dig out that password, but it's beyond me.
Good Luck,
S-7
