Hi Jason,
Thanks for posting!
I understand that event ID 1000, Event ID 644 and Event ID 642 are logged
in Event log on the Window 2000 DC after you changed an administrator's
password. If I have misunderstood your concerns, please feel free to let me
know.
Based on my research, security audit event 642 is logged when a property of
an Active Directory user or machine account changes (if Account Management
auditing is in use on the domain controllers). If the change involves
turning on, turning off, locking, or unlocking an account, the event
description identifies the relevant operation. Other changes to the account
that affect the userAccountControl attribute (for example, the Password
required setting) are logged as a generic "Account Changed" audit event.
To resolve this problem, please attempt to install Microsoft Windows 2000
Service Pack 4.
Get Windows 2000 SP4 Now

More detailed information for your reference:

Hope the information helps. If there is anything that is unclear, please
feel free to let me know.
