Windows 2000 professional lost password

Asked by wolfeye90 about 1 year ago, 1 answer.

I need to know any backdoor/ other ways to get into windows 2000. I asked it earlier, but no suggestions worked.

Here it is:
Hello everyone on here,
I have a Windows 2000 Professional laptop that the accounts that I knew passwords were accidentally...

terminated and I do not know the passwords to the old accounts. I no longer have a working floppy drive, or cd drive, (power cord issues with the cd, and cannot find any replacements. I do not know the Service Pack, or if it has the BIOS ability to boot from a Universal Serial Bus Drive, I have tried it, and it does not seem to work. Is there any other way to log on to it now?

(P.S. the computer is a Toshiba Portege 7000 CT.)

BIOS Revision 0.8.5 I believe.

If you've got it connected to a network you could try to reset the password using, net user. Other than that I think you'll need a floppy drive or some other way to boot to dos.
