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: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html 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: http://www.jms1.net/nt-unlock.html
