Hello, My husband got an old computer from work running windows 2000 NT, and a password
window pops up as soon as we turn it on, is there a way to get past this? I do not
have any windows NT software. I'm not sure what to do. Thanks for your help.

Because I'm sure you go tthe PC at a good price get a win2k CD off e.b.a.y. and
reinstall the OS...
The machine your husband from work will have tons of stuff you don't want not to
say anything about the network they had running I'm sure....

You'll either have to find a valid user/password for the machine or as Dex says,
reinstall 2k (you could google for password reset apps). Might be worth trying user
Administrator with no password - but unlikely as from workplace. Didn't your husband
get any details with the machine/can't he ask tech support?

Yeah. I did that once. This nice English company helped me for free:
They may not be able to help if the password contained too many punctuation marks.
Also check on Knoppix. This is a version of Linux which runs directly off a CD.
It's about 700MB. It has tools to read Windows passwords.
