Can't login

I have a user who has forgotten his password for his Windows2K Pro machine. The problem is that he has also disabled the Administrator account and my account on the machine and so I can't logon either (unfortunately the user had to be given admin rights to the local machine).

I would normally Ghost the machine but the floppy drive doesn't work.

Is there any way I can get in to this machine or will I have to have the floppy drive repaired? This is a laptop so it is not just a case of swapping the drive.

I realise that this is not the kind of topic for discussion in an open forum so if you want to PM me we can find some way of establishing that I am legit and not trying to gain access that I shouldn't have.

Thanks in advance.

The administrators account is built in and can`t be disabled or deleted.

Possibly your friend changed the password and forgot that also.
