Hi J, go to the following URL http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm and you will find links to tools that will help you
This link from the above page (http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ ) did the trick numerous times with NT4 - a linux based floppy that mounts the hard drive, and by allows you to edit the local password database. Used on NT4 several times, once (IIRC) on W2K. It failed me once; a client had a NT4 server with an odd SCSI hard drive and the disk wouldn't mount it.
