    Stupid me !!!

    How can I get into my Windows 2000, when I have forgotten my admin password?

    It's been some time since I last visited those 500Mb on my D:-drive, and in the mean time I've forgotten what the heck the PW was...

    Any idea what I can do, bar a reformat and reinstall?

    Take 1 house brick and hit yourself repeatedly around the head until you remember.

      I'm not sure, but I *think* you can plug the HDD into another Win2k machine, and copy the important contents off it. Unless you used encryption on the drive of course

          If the tips you got does work, I think you should do what Ant's sugessted anyway.

          No offence Jord.

            Same for Novdid...

            If I do so, the flat would topple over

            dZ, I have another drive in here, so I could copy things over and zip them, but that's the difficult way

            Dillie, thanks
            It's Win2k though...

            I'll try to remember for a while.

                  And here I thought you were going to be blasting Microsoft's "Me" OS.

                  Darn....

                  Good luck on the password hunt...

                    Snipes ... that brings back a few memories. Like "Snipes", the early NetWare 3.x LAN game, one of the very first LAN games. And then there's the snipe hunt in the movie "Straw Dogs".

                      Delete the SAM file in \winnt\system32\config or ask me how you can get ERD.
