Unable to logon locally to Win2k Pro

Hello,

I have a workstation that got cloned using Ghost 7.5 (I don’t what my assistand did) and now we can’t logon. Some of the settings during the cloning changed the computer name and when it boots up, in the user name field the following name appear by default, “user name” Also we don’t know what password to use. It does not display a domain name.
Does anybody know the steps that would allow me to get to the desktop bypassing the logon screen so that I can modify the settings?

Thank you,

Nelson Aguillon

Do you get an error message or do you just not know the local admin password?

You can use this program to reset the local admin password so that you can log in.

luv2smile has your solution - but to save you the time of burning a boot disk you could first try using

username: Administrator
password : (leave blank) just in case it lets you in (or if a password was previously specified, use that)

Might work, might not but worth a shot - If it doesn't luv2smile has your way in,
