Need to Bypass windows 2000 login password

ohkay here's the situation, a buddy got an old computer from work, w/o the system password being removed so login directly isn't possible. I've tried accessing the setup screen but the boot sequence order has been removed so I can't use a boot cd I burned. Anyone have any thoughts as to what I can do? I was thinking if there is a way to boot from a cd after access the command prompt in safe mode.

To Boot from a CD, you need to go into the Bios to make the change.

steves on the right track, youve got to change the boot order through the bios.  
if you are locked out of the bios by a password you can remove the little battery 
on the motherboard for a short time and itll reset the bios to factory defaults (with 
no password).

to reset the password for administrator you can use http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

there are others out there to use (some actually trying to charge 50$) but ive used 
this before and it works fine.
