Question

Locked out of Win2K


I was trying to map a drive from another computer when it kept asking for a password to the computer I was mapping to which is odd since the computer I was mapping to has no password as the password, but that’s not my real problem. The problem is I went to the main computer under passwords and check the box that says “users of this computer must enter a password”. I verified the user name I was using from the other computer to map the drive had no password, clicked OK, then uncheck the “user must enter password” box. I closed the password window and got a message box that said “…..log in has changed. Log out then log back in for changes to take effect.” I DIDN’T MAKE ANY CHANGES, but whatever. So later I had to restart the computer and upon booting back up it asked me to log in, WHAT! All the users have a no password password so I enter one of the user names and hit enter, nothing! I’m locked out, it won’t let me back in. I tried repairing Win2K but I’m still locked out.

How do I get around this to get back into my computer???

Never mind. Found some utilities that will change the password but that didn't fix the problem. I'm scrubing the system and starting from scatch.
