Sorry you have regrets. I have machines running everything from win98
to XP and even Linux and my favorite by far is win2k. When you setup
the installation it should have asked you for a password. If not, try
leaving it blank. User name should be "Adminstrator" unless you
specified something else during installation. If it asking for a domain
name they you may be trying to log onto a network. Don't do that.

HTH.
