locked out too

[Mary]

We are locked out of Windows 2000. I tried to change the
administrator and password, now it won't accept any
password. Can anyone help?

Hello,

If the administrator password is lost, forgotten, or unknown, access to the
computer may not be obtainable and the operating system may need to be
reinstalled.

Thank You.

Actually we *love* other developers' software. Without all the 3rd party
software, why would anyone want to run an operating system?
We do have to be careful about what we, as Microsoft employees, recommend,
though - fear of legal repercussions.

Or like stated earlier in this community look for any 3rd-party Admin-Software !
I advise you for using ERD-COMMANDER 2002 - need, cool and easy Application !

Greets,

Info for MS-Admins:
I know that might not be what you understand as supporting - talking about that kinda software - BUT
a) it is a good option
b) Admin should secure the computer so you cant boot from CD or Disk if

unwanted ! Right ?
