Win2K Server error : Directory Services could not start

I have a Win2K Server running on SCSI. I couldn't login to network as it pops out a window "Directory Services could not start because of the following error : There is not enough space on the disk. Error status: 0xc00007f Please click OK to shutdown this system and reboot into Directory Services Restore Mode, check the event log for more detailed information"
But the problem is I don't have the password for Directory Services Restore mode and neither do I have the local administrator password. So there is no way for me to login to clear the harddisk. Use safe mode also couldn't access as getting "Unable to log you on because the netlogon service is not running on this machine."
I tried using some password hacker tool but couldn't detect the partition that Windows installed in (probably due to SCSI). Is there other way to go around this? Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
