It's either secure or it ain't. If the password could simply be "reset"
then obviously there would be no security. So where's that little black
book in a locked safe with your passwords (since your memory is fallible)?

You could try a Google search on Windows password cracker utilities. I
remember reading on one that actually boots using a different OS (Linux,
maybe) and tries to hack the Windows password. You could pay big bucks to
WinInternals to get their Locksmith (now part of their other products) to
hack the password. You could wipe your disk and do a fresh install of the
OS again.

Agreeing with reply , I suggest to do a reinstallation of
Wn2K without wiping the disk(No formatting, just reinstall
only windows )
