How can I reset my password for Windows Family Server 2000?

There's a set password on it and I can't ask the previous owner of the computer because they well they were fired or quit. Which ever it is I need to reset this password, oh it also won't let me log on using Safe Mode freezes at Drivers.Mup, soooo anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,

There are a lot of tools and utilities that can be downloaded and used to recover, reset, retrieve or reveal windows password. However, I've tried a couple of these utilities through the years and my favorite is the windows password key 8.0. This utility is used to reset password of any windows versions.

1. Login to a computer that can link to Internet. Download windows Password key from http://www.lostwindowspassword.com

and install it on that PC. Note that: there is a .ISO file. Burn the .ISO file to a CD or a USB flash drive.



2. Insert the newly created CD/USB drive to the locked computer.



3. Reboot the locked computer and press'F2'or'Delete'to enter your BIOS setup and then followed the process of instructions. Just a few steps, the old password was removed.

You can use a Linux boot OS on a USB drive to log into your PC (it bypasses windows logon). The alternative is to use a utility that lets you reset Windows password.



My company's IT systems administrator uses a software called Password Resetter. It's a quick utility that recovers both admin & user accounts and is compatible with all Windows versions.
