resetting a windows password....

I have a compaq evo N800v laptop with a password on it. But I can not
remember the password, nor can anyone else who has used it. We bought
the computer off of someone for our kids to use, and it didn’t get
used for a while, now no one can remember the password. It does not
have a CD ROM just a 3 1/2 floppy drive so I can’t reformat it. And I
can’t get passed the password screen. It tells me to hit CTRL, ALT,
Delete in order to get to the password page. And I can’t type
administrator and hit enter to get into it. That doesn’t work. It has
windows 2000 Professional on it. Any suggestions on how to crack the
code??? Thanks!

Thanks but I’m not the brightest crayon in the box. What do I do next?
Do I download Win Image? Thanks for the info.
