I have been locked out of my WIN2k proffessional. My password expired and I can't log on to my system. Is there a secret default admin password? Anything I can do besides reinstall?
You might try searching the net for NT password hackers. I know there was a good one that worked with NT 4 SP3 or greater. I don't know if it will work with 2K. Unfortunatly I forgot the name of it.

Try changing the date of your PC.......... and when you log in, change your password, and create another account with a secure password (admin) that you can use to get in, man locking yourself out has got to be the worst error you can do in Win NT / 2K, first rule when you are finish instaling create another account (ADMIN POWERS) that the password don't expire so keep yourself a way to get back in!
