Removed password
I removed the password to my second computer (Windows 2000) and didn't update with a new password. When I start up the computer, its asking for a password and I cannot get past that. I've tried the F8 to get to set up, but still cannot get into the computer. Any suggestions? Thanks much!

Unlees you specifically configure it to automatically log on, Win2K will always ask for a password, even if there is none. If you removed the password, just leave the password box empty and click OK, or press enter.
