Password not working

[=?Utf-8?B?UHJveQ==?=]

I have a slightly older computer running windows 2000, with some files on
there that I would really like to see, but I am logged on as a guest and
can't. First, I tried logging out, but it just logs me right back in again.
Then I try to go to the users control panel, but I am locked out. It says
that I am logged in as "Admin/guest", which is not a part of the
administrators group. I give my user name and password, which I am absolutely
sure about (Yes, it has full access), and it will not recognize it. I then
try to use another password I know of, and after trying all the possible
variations that I could think of, it still will not recognize my password. I
think that wherever it stores my password for comparison is gone.
