Dear All,

I have a note book using Windows 2000 Professional. I cannot remember the
admin password.
Does anyone know how to break in ?

Hello,
Assuming you have an other local user account with admin rights, log on =
using these credentials, and reset the password for administrator. =
(right click on my computer, manage, local users and groups, users, =
administrator, set password). Beware! Resseting password might cause =
data loss, especially EFS-encripted files.
There are also pasword-cracking tools that will read the registry and =
rewrite the password hashes for any account, including the =
administrator. Here are some of these tools:
