Windows 2000/NT User Name Password bypass

I recently bought a laptop online with Windows 2000 installed. When I start it up it asks for a user name and password. The user name is there but I need a password to start the OS. Is there a way to bypass this or reset a password? I do not have an OS boot disk so I cannot go the route of re-installing. Any info would help. Thanks.

 

Try this free shareware program, someone else in this forum use it to reset his computer login password. Maybe it will work for you too.

if that dosent work google hirens boot cd, not sure if i can post the link but it has several password recovery tools on it.

 

edit::.. was going to tell how until I realised it's a security hole that can be used by thieves.
