Forgot W2K Administrator Password

[question702]

Need your help!

I cannot remember my Administrator Password (running
Windows 2000) to my desktop at home.

Is there anyway I can get around this?

Obviously, cannot get into my computer.

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Afraid not. I know that it water under the bridge at this point, don't want
this to come across the wrong way, but we always recommend the renaming of
the Administrator account and creating additional admin account/s for backup
etc.

I understand that there are boot discs available that will allow you to
reset the admin password. Don't have a link but Google should help
