I accidentaly, due to a child error, have been locked out of my system
using Windows 2000 Professional. Apparently, the log in password was
changed and I have no way of knowing what it is now! This is not
good.

I know this is an XP thread, but I have always gotten great advice on
this forum so I figured it is worth a shot.

Use NTpasswd to change the Administrator password to a blank. Then log
into that account and make desired changes.

OS.
