Reinstall Gone wrong

[Guest]

My father attempted to resinstall Windows 2000 on a Dell Dimension desktop he
uses at his home business. He reinstalled it, not realizing he no longer had
the product key. Now when he powers on, he gets prompted for the product key
and cannot do anything else. Is there any way for him to either undo his
botched reinstall or install something over this? Any suggestions or
comments are appreciated.
