Unlike Windows 7/Vista/XP, Windows 2000 doesn't incorporates built-in tools to create a password reset disk in advance to in case of a forgotten Windows logon password. But you can use another admin account to reset it. Logon as the administrator or as a user with administrative access, and then follow these steps:
1. Go to Start - Programs - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management - Local Users And Groups - Users folder.
2. In the right pane, right-click the appropriate user object, and then click Set Password.
3. Type the appropriate password, and then click OK.
4. Click OK to acknowledge that the password change succeeded.
5. Close the Computer Management console and Administrative Tools windows.
6. The user can log on with the new password.
