Unknown Windows Password

I have a laptop that was donated to our church. It has a dual boot with Windows 98
and Windows 2000 professional on it. I can boot up in Windows 98 but I can't access
the rest of the hard drive since I don't know the user name and password for Win
2000. I have new operating software I can load but I would like to get rid of the
partion and the old operating systems.

Hi My name is Sam.
Well while I was looking into this Web Site I notice your request. Ok well you must
have a bootdisk. Most recommended WIN 98, you can download it at www.bootdisk.com
in this site download the file you need.
Step one:
Boot from the disk and delete all the partitions
Reboot
Step two:
Boot from the disk again and create a partition you chose the size, of the first
partition that is if you want.
After creating one reboot.
*to access this option you must type fdisk press enter after doing so
Step three:
Format the partition you created and you may install the Windows Version of your
choice, if you have any further question. Please contact me....and
God bless you

Try Administrator, hit enter (no password) and see if you can get into WIN 2000,
or just use a WIN98 boot disk and wipe the hard drive and install whatever OS you
want
