My laptop doens't have floppy or cd drives and it won't read the usb until windows is loaded. I've been reading lots of posts about how to get around the password and none of the advice works for me. I can't use any of the offline suggestions. command prompt doesn't work when i'm in 2000 (rather when i'm at the log on screen) the cnt-alt-del idea doesn't work. i can get into dos with nt but I dont' know how to do anything from there. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you so much.
