Win 2k admin password

Seen some questions about how to enter w2k machines when password "forgotten". But no real good answers.

I also need to crack the admin password to be able to take controll of my computer.

Is EDR Commander the only way or do anyone know a cheeper way?

there are some freeware linux tools that will reset the admin password. a google search should yield the desired results...

If this is your home computer, you could just reinstall the OS.

No it's not my home computer but my workstation at work. I must only temporary take control of the machine to change some settings (enable the IR-port, etc) an install some "usefull" software.
After that the original admin password must work, so that the company IT-department can support me.

Just ask the company IT dept to allow you admin priveledges.

Good advice
