Why is it driving you nuts?

The Administrator login is the default login for Windows 2000. You can not remove the default login.

You can however add another user login and apply administrator rights to that user.

If what you are asking is can I get rid of having to login? The simple answer is no!

You should add a comment on to this question and tell us what it is you want to do if I have not answered your question.

The Administrator is the security authenication that is provided for the system to keep out unwanted users,you will not be able to change the login screen that I have found.

In the Control Panel, go to Users and Passwords. On the Users tab, you can uncheck the requirement that users must enter a password to use the computer. The Advanced tab lets you choose whether or not the three-finger salute is required.
I have no idea what this is going to do as far as network provisions, etc. And, of course, your on site security is shot.

if you want to be rid of administrator...
you shouldn't be using 2000 Pro.

the Administrator account is a nice safety net for you.

Create a new user account and assign it to the poweruser/user group. This will help keep accidental hazards ata distance.

Then use the administrator account when needed.
Control of the PC environment and security are the reason for having Windows 2000 Pro.

BAD Idea: "get rid of the Adminstrator in Windows 2000 Pro"

GOOD IDEA: Rename it.
