Hello there.
 
It's been ages since I installed Windows 2000 to a friend's computer...
I set up all the needed accounts and such things - but the problem is that only Administrator account has administrative privileges, all others are just a normal users... Now my friend need to install a software that needs administrative privileges to instll, and I - don't ask how - forgot the Administrator password.
I hope that reformat is not the only way to fix the problem.
Does anyone have any better idea how to retrive/change Admin password?
 
Thanks,
