How can I get round the password/username prompt if I can't remember my password? My computer is locked, and I don't want to reinstall w2k and loose all my data. Please help.

Well you won't get in admin tools with no password. But there are ways to reset your password. Go here: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Hope it works and next time choose an easier to remember password
