you need to boot up the PC then delete the file named sam in winnt/system32/config. The directory may also be other name like Win2000 than winnt. To boot up the PC, you can use a W9x startup floppy. If the Win2000 is installed using NTFS rather than FAT32, you must use NTFSDOS to boot up and delete. NTFS may be downloaded, serach for the name on Internet.
