Liked Win98-2e Better

My parents have recently divorced, my mom got to keep the
laptop even though she has no clue how to use it. She does
not know the Admin password and my dad claims to have
forgotten it. How can I recover it? Can I uninstall Win2K
and install Win98-2e?
 
If he "forgot" the pw and there are no other admin/user accounts that she
knows of to logon with, then she will need to reinstall it and then have her
own admin/user account/s. You can't really "uninstall" win2k, but the drive
can be reformated and she can install anything she wants at that point.
(she could also install another copy of 2k into a different directory, and
hopefully in a different partition if one's there, that would allow her to
boot up into that if she wanted to see what was on it, but still would not
be able to logon to the original installation)
