So, ok, I'm going to annoy everybody by asking the BAD question: how do I crack? Nooo just kidding, but I have a similar question:

I just switched out one of our user's machines. I'm giving him a better machine and moving his down to one of our conference rooms that doesn't need all the bells & whistles. During that process, before I logged off his computer the last time, I changed the name of his computer to "JAMES2" for network identification.

Then, I added computer "JAMES2" to the "users and computers" in the active directory of our domain controller.

I move the old computer downstairs, try to log on, and...I'm locked out! I'm told the account or administrator password does not match all of a sudden. So, I tried logging in as administrator on the local machine, and I had the same problem.

So now I have no way to login to change whatever's wrong with it. Is there anyway I can sneak past the W2k logon screen to get in and save this computer, or is it OS reinstallation time?
