I'm a security professional, and this is a good opportunity to point out just how easy it can be to defeat the Windows password.  The website I'm linking you to provides a boot disk that is a known safe way to do this:\n\nhttp://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html

I'll try to help you to my best existent.  When your computer starts up press F8 (its above your number keys) Go into safe mode, you don't need a password to get into a administrators account when your in safe mode. Then change your password however you do it in windows 2000, then write it down and restart. Then type it in then your in!\n\nHoped i helped

You can probably cheat the BIOS password protection by removing the CMOS battery for a day, then reinstalling it; that should make the mobo forget the password. If it doesn't, you can always re-flash the BIOS; follow the instructions on the mobo manufacturer's Web site.\n\nIn re: The Windows 2000 computer's password, if you don't have anything on the PC of value, once you get past the BIOS issue, just format the disk and start anew.

I'm making a massive assumption that you are referring to MS Windows system here.  Unless there is another account in the administrators group you need the old password.  If you don't I'm afraid it's back to the Windows CD.  ...or you could try l0phtcrack - google it.  You'll need to do a bit of footwork to get at the SAM which contains the password but the advice that comes with l0phtcrack will get you through this.

I am assuming you have windows OS. In that case, you can always start your system in rescue mode and reset administrator password. Rescue mode allows you to login in single user mode without needing password. Do google search, you will find wealth of information.

You have to try and recall the password or then you will have to download some password recovery softwares. You can search for them. But , they cost some bucks.\n\nIf your password was  ONLY two characters or less then you can use the trial versions to recover it.\n\nSorry for disappointing you but there is no alternative.
