Need to Break into Windows 2000
My son had me help him by phone with a laptop they gave him
from where he used to work. He wanted to install XP and didn't
know if it would work so we made a new primary partition and he
installed XP on it.
It arrived at my home yesterday as a Christmas present to me.
I couldn't believe it.
Now how can I get into the Windows 2000 without a user name
or password. I'm getting into XP fine. Is there some easy way
to hack my way in?

I think there are other ways im not thinking of.
btw, shouldnt this be in Windows NT fourm?
looks fine to me and I don't play games though. It don't know the
modem.
I can copy out Windows 2000 and whatever programs I can find
but I'd like to see how it looks first.

software problem. I just wasn't thinking I guess.
Anyway it's a Delll and it's got a official Dell sticker on the bottom
that says Windows XP Home but his company took it off and put
Windows 2000 on it. He got one of the last they did that to and
that's why his was the last to be replaced. His new one has
XP Pro already on it.
It's got 512 MBS of ram and is only using 128 so it must not have much shared stuff. I had it up today but forgot to see
what the processor was.

ill look at what i can find on it to getyou in.
ERD Commander tomorrow. I don't know the user either though.
I've never had or really even ever got to try a laptop before and
this one that seems to excede anything I've ever had looks a
little different than I'm used to.
I know I can find the drivers and copy any important programs
but I just want to see it and save a working copy.
Thump
I think that's what I'll have to try.
This must be the finest computer I've ever had.
It's a Dell Latitude C640. It's using a little more ram now,
I don't know what I did. Memory=512.00MB Available=358.21MB
x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7 GenuineIntel ~1794 Mhz
Is that Pentium 3?
Thump
have to press CTRL-ALT-DEL to get to the log-in thing.
I already resent the password without directions from m$.
{Just Kidding, I knew you meant reset.}
I am going to slowly try to swap out the floppy drive with the
CD drive and run Bart's PE and just try to do a small inventory.
Thump
maybe hitting f8 at boot and select command prompt
I am thinking
I have found a program on m$ site that will reset the password . since his 2000 is on another partition i am not sure if he can run the program from the xp partition
program is "net dom" find it here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... 3FEBA08CFE
the 123 is what ever password you choice
this is of course 2000 partition is on the c:
this is from the command prompt of xp
nope. thats a normal Pentium 4. non-mobile version.
The more I can learn about it the better.
I thought someone here would know.

a wrong e-mail addy on purpose and I went often to it to see if you'd
responeded. It must have been a typo. I believe my forum e-mail is
listed as THUMP@draac.com but it's not too trustworthy but I've always
got the responses of everyone else {I hope.} I will send you another
by a more private means if you'd like to write me anything.
It's become overly spammed and I usually have to delete the entire
first listing to get to the real ones. I didn't know. No disrest intended.
