win 2k password? can you ask whomever loaded win 2k what password they used? That would be the easiest. username: administrator password: When they originally installed win2K maybe they set up a guest account? username: guest password: guest username: guest password: {blank} If this works you will not likely be logged in as an administrator, only a user or power user.
