HELP need to bypass Windows NT login screen

I was trying to copy some data from a Windows NT computer using a USB jump drive. The computer would not recognize the drive even after installing the drivers. So, I changed the workgroup the NT computer was on so I could put it on my home network and drop the files to my home computer. When I changed the workgroup name I had to restart the computer, now I am not able to login with the password my boss gave me for the NT computer. My question is: is there some way that I can bypass the login screen? Or, is there some way that I can change the password to allow me to login into the computer? Any help I could get regarding this process would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

NT does not support usb ports, except others source.
Generally to change the password is control by the Domin or Local Administrator. How strong the security system also depends on the setting of the administrator. Normally when the administrator setting the user manager, they might set the user password lockup attempt. Secondly, if they formated the Harddisk as NTFS, the security level already control the file system only for specific user profile where the adminstartor assign to that particular user.

Get the Adminstrator to unlock your user ID.
