Lost Admin Password

Help please anyone. I have bought a secondhand computer with Windows 2000 OS. Unfortunately the origional owner can not remember the admin password to log into Windows. Is there any way around this?
The computer does not have internet access and my main computer has no floppy drive.
Thank you
Carol

Re: Lost Admin Password

Hi, listen to me.
Download Windows password unlocker from it's official site . Note that there is an .ISO image file included in Windows Password Unlcocker . Burn the .ISO image file to a blank CD by your favorite burner software such as Nero, Sonic, or Roxio. If you don't have those burners, you can use BurnCDCC.exe integrated in Windows Password Unlocker as well. With the new created password reset disk. You can reset windows vista password with great ease

Re: Lost Admin Password

here is the methods I know.

The first thing which you check if you forget login password. When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account "Administrator" and sets its password to blank. So if you have forget Your user account password then try this:
Start system and when you See Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys Twice and it'll show Classic Login box. Now type "Administrator" (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.
Now you can reset your account password from "Control Panel -> User Accounts".
Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.

Windows XP and further versions also provide another method to recover forgotten Password by using "Reset Disk". If you created a Password Reset Disk in Past, you can use that disk to reset the password. To know more about It, please google windows password reset 6.0
