Not necessarily.. I did a quick search of my sources on this sort of matter, and a mostly found brute force programs, but I came accross a word doc describing a technical persepective of a normal user setting up win2k based on prior win98 knowledge, and basically unless dyvchyna made a consious effort of setting up the admin password it is probably blank. ( this is based on the win98 concept of "press enter if you don't want to enter a password again) So dyvchyna I know you said that neither the Guest or admin account worked for logging in, but guest definately should, and as JAMMAN said you should really try to remeber the admin password, if there even is one, otherwise this could get pretty complicated. (atleast as far as my knowledge extends in this matter) Keep us updated, and I'll make sure you get your PC back.
