I have a customer who has lost passwords for 4 notebooks for the Administrator (user). Is there any fix except a reinstall.

There is a unix utility that will you to change the 2000 admin password. It runs off diskett and it is a bootable file. This is a last ditch effort but I have used it several times and haven't had any problems yet. The URL is listed below.
