Do not repost a whole topic just because it is like number 7 on the list. That is incredibly rude if not illegal according to the site's rules.

i'm sorry i didn't know . .

Hey Roger, Your best bet is to probalbly download a Linux boot disk for passwords. The disk will reset the login to the default. Also, I was told that you could delete your .SAM file, but I don't know the specifics on that, it may be too risky. Type "recovering administrator password in win2000" in any search engine and I'm sure you'll be logging back on in no time.
