Password Problem With Windows 2000 Professional

Celtics34 · 04-09-2006, 09:31 AM

Hello, I will post in the introduction thread but I have little time and would sincerely appreciate help in resolving this issue.

I run windows 2000 and I rarely logoff. However yesterday my computer shut down, and I found that I have no recollection of my password. I have no clue what I set it as, and I have no idea how to change it.

So, is there anyway I can change it before it loads? Or is there anyway I can login through safemode and change it there? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Celtics34

Is your account the only one with administrative access? If not, log into another and change it through the Computer Management console.
