Boot windows2000 without network - 12/5/2006 15:36:30   
We inherited some computers that seem to have previously been used on a network.

We need to use them individually for now. When we boot them, they ask for network ID and passwords.

Is there a way around this?

(We do not have installation disks for Win2000...)

Thanks.

Thanks so much for the links!

It turns out that the computer is running Novell Client for Windows (Novell Login v 4.83.0.0 SP2).

After changing the password and rebooting, I get this error when I try to log in.

The tree or server could not be found. Choose a different tree or server.

The machine in question is NOT connected to a network, so a server won't be found...

Any ideas?

Stephen

Ummm not really up on Novell. Try Googling for "Novell login problems" or "Bypass Novell Login" or just use the error message.

The other option is to try booting from a disk and once in see if you can get at the admin account from there.

There's this

or this

I've used the second, Bart PE and it got me out of a hole but not with what you're doing.
