Windows 2000 How can I re-create my Adminstrator account?

[Bob H]

Somehow??? I lost my password for my administrator account, but managed
to get back into windows by a username account. Now I have lost some
settings etc and I need to be an Adminitsrator to create accounts???

Is there any way round this?
Thanks

Thanks for the link. I downloaded the CD program and ran it, but I got
this message when I tried to reset the password for the Administrator:
'No NT MD4 hash found. Probably blank password. No lanman has found
either. Sorry can't change.'

So I tried logging in to administrator account with a blank password but
it didn't work.

Anything else I can try?
Thanks

Bob indulged in a little bit of multi-posting and did not feel
it necessary to report in this newsgroup that his problem
is now resolved.
