Change Administrator login name and password

[studybum]

When Windows 2000 boots, how do I change the user name and password for the Adminstrator that is now listed with no password?

Any advice is welcome.

Give us more information?
Do you know what the administrative password is and just want to change it?, or do you want to change it because you can not get into the administrative account?

Yes, the user name is currently "Administrator" and the password in non-existent. Just hitting enter with a blank password box gets u in.

Go to manage pick users and groups left pane right click on administrator and choose set password.

My error in the RIGHT pane of users pick the admin and right click set password.

How is that different than <cntrl><alt><del> Change Password? Will I lose the software loaded if I change it there?

 

[tlcscousin]

Should not lose it. I just have never done it there. I figured if you were changing the name and password the users and groups was the best place to kill two birds with one stone.

I did not set a password for windows 2000, yesterday after rebooting Win2K is asking for a password, how do I get around this. Is there a tool I can use to extract or reset the password.
