There are several steps to take if you believe you have forgotten your password:

1. Ensure you typed the correct password. Remember, passwords are case sensitive. See Password Guidelines for more information.

2. Make sure Caps Lock is not enabled on your keyboard.

3. Was the Member ID entered correctly? Make sure you have entered your Member ID and domain which is the same as your full email address.

4. Ensure cookies are enabled.

5. After two unsuccessful attempts, open a new browser window such as Internet Explorer and try again.

you can possibly find a password cracker on limewire or warez. if u use limewire dont download any file at the size of 197.7KB or 857.7KB they r viruses and if u download a zip file and it says ysb toolbar dont unzip it.
There are locksmith programs that you find out, but if this is your only computer, then it would be easier just to do a wipe and reload!
really you can't do anything sorry to say that
there are some locksmith programs n u can get it free
NO NEED TO WORRY AND DON'T DOWNLOAD ANY VIRUSES

THE BEST SUITED WAY IS ONLY TO FORMAT THE COMPUTER

OR

TRY TO REMEMBER THE PASSWORD IN A COOL STATUS...
You could try hacking into your laptop from another computer. If you have not applied any of the service packs to Win2k, then there are lots of vulnerabilies that exist in the OS. You can try to connect to some of the default services that run on the system, for example a web server or some ftp or telnet program. Then you can exploit those programs to get access to one of the user accounts on the machine. Then try to download the password file that is stored on the machine. Once you get the password file, use a password cracker program to reveal the password of all users in the file.

I cannot give more specific details on how to do each step....cos you have to be hacker and I am not and neither are you.
relogin again or ask a computer technichian to help u fix the computer?!
if you boot into safe mode you can then access the control panel and click on user passwords to change it. I would suggest not forgetting your password next time.
