are there any other accounts with administrator privelidges
if there are, use that account to reset the password?
Failing that, you might have to look on the net for a password recovery tool - a bit like hacking your own system.
Sorry I can't point you to any, but I'm sure they exist for win2000.
Or, if the computer is connected to a domain, you could try using a domain admin password to get in... if it isn't, you won't be able to connect it without the computer admin password.
Best of luck, if I come across anything useful I'll let you know.

Check out the L0phtcrack password recovery tool at:
It costs, but maybe is worth it.

This is the software I use. Works great. Not cheap, but then again, neither is your time.
