Win 2000 - Admin & Default Password

[shaun]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

Just installed Windows 2000 over Win98....everything
loaded fine....came to a screen where it stated that the
accounts administrator and default were created on the
system and to assign a password

I assigned a password and it accepted it....then a logon
screen poped up and asked for the password to log
on ....i typed it in and it told me it was incorrect.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
Shaun

password with one of the methods mentioned here:
