win2000 PW recovery?
How can I get password to get into Win2000 on my old work PC?
I dont know admin password for Win2000 laptop and now my personnel password doesnt work any longer either. I DO NOT have any Win2000 CDs to create a boot disk. I did my best Google to find a solution and found a admin password solution with this: http://www.lostpassword.com/windows-xp-2000-nt.htm Unfortunately it requires a boot disk which I need the Win2000 install disk for...again I have no disks. If I can get it runninf, laptop will be fine for me to use a Backup server to drive external HD on my home LAN. I dont want to spend $200 for XP OS for this when Dell Latitude PII is pretty worthless, and I can buy a brand new PC P4 from Dell for about 150 more. Also I dont want to go the steep learning curve to put Linux on it. Any help appreciated. Thank you |

Alternatively, one of the free Linux dl (knoppix?) flavors to run as a Samba Server with the external drive. Ebay or a local discount book store may have a copy of w2k software cheap. |
