Then you need to work with the IT folks at your company to resolve the
issue.

As was mentioned already, there is no DOS in Windows 2000 but you can boot
to a safe command prompt by pressing F8 during the boot up process. The
timing of pressing F8 can be kind of tricky, it may take a few tries. When
you get it right you should get a menu of boot choices including one for a
command prompt.
