If you are having problems logging on to your win2000 and have forgoten your admin password (on you local machine that is) there is a little linux program that alows you to go in and change the admin password to anything you want, once thats done login as usual with that new password. The programs name is NT2K.

I cant network! And don't want to use linux. Is there a code or something? More specific... I get an error message!
It can be very difficult for us to guess what the error message might be. If you don't network and it's a personal machine, have you forgotten your password, or was it not set? Have you installed any other software?
Or is the machine a new purchase?

You dont have to run linux on the machine to run this program. It's just a little Dos program that goes in and changes your password to what ever you set it to be. The program it self is linux based.

Eric,
The password reset may be fine (I know it works - have used it too) - but, for example, the problem may be that all the accounts are disabled (this happened on my daughter's PC), in which case changing the password is no good. That's why we'd like to know what error message(s) he's getting before being able to advise properly.

You are right that knowing the error message would help.
(How did you solve your daughter's PC problem?)

I thought he said he wasnt on a network. Therefor I asumed he was a stand alone.
Ill just stay out of this one and have you try to help him.

Eric - my daughter's fix.
Removed the SAM file and did a repair reinstall - it wouldn't boot with SAM file removed (it was actually XP - but luckily I'd left an old drive with 2k on in the machine so I could get access to XP's ntfs filestore). This after trying lots of things with the linux password resetter (as didn't know ALL accounts were disabled till I'd tried logging on with them all), repair reinstall without removing SAM (had no effect). Couldn't use recovery console as Administrator account disabled.

The error message... (Or something to the effect of)
The system could not log you on. Make sure your username and password are correct, then try again. Make sure that your username and, or password are in the correct case.
I have tried all of this... and nothing works

I know this seems simple, but sometimes those are the answers....
When my users are having probs logging in I always first have them type their password in the username field to verify that it looks alright (Caps, keys not working, numlock).
Just a thought....
