Logon to win2000 and was prompted to change password. Decided not to have any password therefore i left the password field blank and clicked OK and was given a prompt that password has been changed.
Got the blue screen of death telling me physical memory is being dump. Restarted system and now I can't login.

Some things you might think about trying:
1. If the computer is connected to a network,
disconnect the network line before booting the
computer and when the login screen appears be
sure to clear both the name and password
fieldsand click "Cancel" instead of trying to
log on.
2. Most computers with W2k installed usually
(should)have at least 2 accounts for logging
on, 1 for the Administrator and 1 for You or
other users. If possible login as
Administrator. You may have a problem if no
one can login with Administrator privleges.
3. It may be possible some sort of hardware
failure may have occured or?? Try to start W2k
in "Safe Mode" and go from there.
Once you are able to login one way or another and have fixed this problem and still wish to bypass the logon screen I'll explain a couple of ways to do this if you like.
