Hi

If a user password is lost, forgotten, or unknown, the only method to reset
the password is for the administrator (or a user with administrative
access) to log on and reset the password in Computer Management. There is
no method in the Windows 2000 security model to bypass, disable, or reset
the password. If the administrator password is lost, forgotten, or
unknown, access to the computer may not be obtainable and the operating
system may need to be reinstalled."
