Currently I have install Win 2000 Professionl. But the worse thing for me now is i forgot my password for Admin and i just can login as normal (restricted) user without any password. Is there a way to retrieve or delete or change my Admin password?

If it's not a critical installation, you could just re-install Win2K Prof. and remember the password this time ;-)
