I've some how managed to change the password to get into my windows 2000 pro computer, i've tried using administrator but that asks for a pw too, but i have windows 98 installed also on this machine, i can still boot into win 98 so is there a way to change my password for my windows 2000 through 98?

did i even make sense?

please help me!!!

No ....not thru win 98i
Have you tried not using a password for the admin accouts? Sounds like you maybe never set one up and just need to hit enter when trying to log into the admin acct.

You could try this link http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm
you can download an iso file to burn to a cd to create a bootable cd that will remove the admin password, also there is lots of info there on this subject.
