Administrator Password

Hello Friends

 

I am using Windows 2000 Professional.

 

I forgot the administrator password.

 

Whether any free software available or any idea please reply

 

Thank You

you are in luck:

 

Get you self a cd-bootable linux disk. (I believe 2k still uses FAT32 which means any linux cd-bootable will have read and write drivers.)

 

Boot up in Linux, and navigate to Windows directory

 

Find the screen saver (.scr) file that you use for your logon. By default it's logon.scr (Let's just use it as the example)

 

Also find cmd.exe

 

rename logon.scr to logon.bak

 

copy cmd.exe to make a copy, and rename the copy to logon.scr

 

Start back up in windows. Wait till the screen saver comes on...

I mean the cmd will show up

 

Here you can type:

 

net user *username* *new password*

 

*username* replace it with the administrator's user name

*new password* type a password you want to use

 

After that's done. exit

login

 

Change your password in windows.
