I have a standalone windows 2000 professional computer. I
forgot the password. Is there any way to get past or
crack the password login screen?

Q321305 How to Log On to Windows XP If You Forget Your
Password

Reboot to Safe Mode, select Administrator, leave password
blank.
Then go to User Accounts in Control Panel and
delete/change the
password.

You do not need to reinstall if you forgot the admin or
any other password.

There is a boot disk you can download at:

that will let you reset the password of any account on
NT4, Windows2000 or
XP.

Just follow all the default settings which are for the
admin account.


For an Win2k AD domain controller, you need to do more
than that:
