1. ask the previous owner
2. to bypass bios pw disconnect power supply and take out the battery out of the mainboard (you have to unscrew the computer). Some mainboards require a shortcut of an electrical circuit on board. The manual (to be found online for most brands) will tell you.

There is a battery on the motherboard
You need to unplug power /remove this wait and put it back to reset the bios
Some older motherbords dont have a battery and you will see soem pins that need to be moved to reset it

i would remove the BIOS chip for a minute then put it back in, this will clear all the BIOS settings, also remove the battery on the motherboard for a minute and try again.

for bios you have to flush your memory for doing that you probably have a cell on your mother board, or may be a jumper call JP3 or other, but for win2k security I think you would have to delete all SAM files and that might also no work

You might need to take your computer to a professional so he can hack into it

You can probably cheat the BIOS password protection by removing the CMOS battery for a day, then reinstalling it; that should make the mobo forget the password. If it doesn’t, you can always re-flash the BIOS; follow the instructions on the mobo manufacturer’s Web site.
In re: The Windows 2000 computer’s password, if you don’t have anything on the PC of value, once you get past the BIOS issue, just format the disk and start anew.
