Getting Past the LogOn Screen

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

I have a Windows 2000 Professional log on screen that I
need to get by to update to the current net domain.

By way of explanation; we have added a salesman, and the
computer has the old domain and password which no one
knows. Can you help me get past this so I can get
everything operational again.

Hi

Log on locally with the "Administrator" user, and if you
don't know the password:

You might try to reset the local Administrator password
with one of the methods mentioned here:
