When you install Win2K Pro it creates an built in Local Administrator account and ask you for password, After installation is complete then you create user accounts and set passwords for them. So if you can't log on as user or forgotten the user password try logging in as Administrator with the Administrator's password. (hope you remember that). If you don't remember that password then reinstall is the only option. Good Luck!
