I've purchased 2 IBM netvistas with Win2000 already
installed from a company thats gone out of business. I
can't get them to network without knowing their admin
password. Does anyone Know how to get around this problem.

If these are relatively new systems then you could just reformat the
drives and reinstall Windows using the installation media that you got
with the purchase. If you got no restore (disk image) or installation
media, then you didn't buy Windows with those computers (i.e., they
didn't bother to wipe the drive before selling JUST the hardware).
