Have you enabled the WIN2k guest account?

I had that problem before. I forget how I resolved it, but one thing I tried (don't remember if it worked or not) was to log in using the same username and password as your win2k machine, in win 98. So instead of bypassing the annoying password when you boot up, type in the username and password that coresponds to your win2k machine.
