If you cannot log in using any local account, and
you have physical access to the machine, you
can usually reset the local Administrator account
on the computer with the boot disk found here:
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html
This will work on most stock Win2K configurations, but you
are messing with the SAM in a completely unsupported
way, and there is always a risk of making the Windows
configuration unuseable. Don't try this except as a last resort.
And if you have encrypted NTFS folders the password reset will
render those forever inaccessible.
