do you guys know the Administrator password?

if you can login as Administrator, you can reset your boss's password.

OR, hm, depending on how your office is setup, you may have your network admin guy just reset his password over the network.

its a whole computer password, not the network login

on the login screen, do you see a domain? or just username and password?

just username and password

well, ask around for what the Administrator password may be.

Every windows 2000 machine has a default user called "Administrator". Ask if your boss knows it. If he doesn't check with some computer people there.

If you can't find anybody that knows it, it's worth trying a few guesses. Try username: Administrator and a blank password, 12345, etc.

If you can't get into the machine as Administrator, there are ways of resetting the Administrator password, but it's risky.
