Change password for administrator

if it is on a domain log on to the system and from another computer (logged on as doamin admin)
open computer manager. right click on the computer and select coonect to other system , there you can can the password under user groups.
If it is a local sysytem and is fat32 formated.
boot the computer with a win98 cd . get to a command prompt and delete *.sam ans sam.*
this will delete all users from the computer and reset the administrator account back to no password.

best thing to do is to get hold of a copy of ERD Commander 2000 (I think you may be able to download this from www.download.com).

It creates a set of bootable disks for you that allow you to boot into DOS and then run a small command at the prompt to change the adminpassword - hence allowing you to logon next time.

Use the NT Offline Password and Registry Editor.
