I converted one of our workstations over to Windows 2000 from Windows 98. It worked fine, but when I rebooted it demanded a login user name and password. The original user, under the Win 98 configuration, cannot remember the password she used to use. I haven't been able to login using either guest, or admin, or anything else. The computer is essentially sitting there, useless. Is there anyway I can get into this computer short of attempting a clean installation (I'd prefer not to do this since there are still document files needed)

I'd appreciate any help you can give.
 
There have been several posts here over the last few days that will give you the info to crack the password. Just go through a couple of pages and you will find them.
