Here is a suggestion: have a friend burn you UBCD (ultimate boot CD ) with Insert. It's a live linux CD with a password cracker as part of the package. It may help.

you need to set the Windows 2000 drive as the primary boot drive.  all of this can be found by:\nleft click on My Computer > Context menu 'Properties' > Tab 'Advanced' > Button 'Startup and Recovery'\nNew window: ensure that Windows 2000 Professional is the default\nOK > Tab 'Advanced' > Button 'Apply' > Button 'OK'\n\nThat should solve your problem, if it doesn't, then it is either something in the OS' registry that needs repair or the drive's physical settings needs to be changed to where the new drive's jumper is reset from MASTER to SLAVE and the current MASTER needs to be set as such.\n\nIf that doesn't work, feel free and contact me, I'll be more than happy to help you.

If you were using windows xp, try to boot from windows xp CD.\nSelect repair option. It will ask Administrator password.\nAdministrator can access those files.

Of course you do have a complete backup of all your personal data don't you?\n\nIf not you have to decide how much you're prepared to pay to get it back and take it to data recovery specialist.\n\nIf you decide to don't try to do anything more until they've got back everything they can. Then reinstall Windows and set up accounts for daily use WITHOUT administrator privileges

If you still have your license key, contact Microsoft and they can help clear this issue up.  Yeah, I know, it's a pain.  Good luck.

i am having the exact problem, i think you have to have administrative rights, that is all i can think of because i don't have admin on this computer, and ive tried pretty much everything

Hmm. There should be a security question to remind you of your previous password. I would suggest trying all passwords you have used in the past. If that doesn't work, call your computer manufacturer tech support for better advice. You can't be without an administrator account on most computers, so perhaps, if you have more than one account to the Windows program, one of the others is now Administrative. Don't forget your owner's manual, it can help you alot! =)

When you installed new windows over the old you are getting an administrator privileges, though, just create a password for your current administrator user, and try.\n\nIf not, e-mail me, your problem is Delicious to me.

If you don't have admin rights from the get go, you will not be able to asign yourself rights. You could try to load in safe mode but that would require some registry editing. I would suggest getting the tech to load for you. TX

just reformat everything.  the windows o/s you have should boot automatically from your CD-ROM.  there are free utilities from majorgeeks.com to retrieve your lost data, even if you've reformatted the drive(s).  good luck, you're NOT an idiot.  everyone has had their computer woes.  how'd your Vista go?

You know... the ONLY way that I know of is to try a systems restore\n\nGo to START >> Help and Support.. and on the helpl and support window, go down to oaddiltional resources and click on system restore and set the date back to before the item was lost.. try it that way.

There is a system restore on your computer you can restore it to a time that had it the way it used to be (I hope I am clear with this). I have had to do that as well and it worked for me. If not then you need to clean your system and go to windows online and there are some forums there with anwsers there that will help its full of windows geeks and they are helpfull as well with this. If you cant restore this then you may have to delete it and reload it on the computer. I am sorry I am new to windows XP PRO myself but I had this problem last month and I jsut did a total system restore and it worked.
