Can't transfer user logins and password from 6.5 to 2000

I tried the upgrade wizard and I am getting this error:
"Unable to connect to the Export Server. Please verify that you are an NT
Administrator on that machine"
I am an NT Administrator on that box.
I also tried the script located
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.security/browse_thread/thread/2eaa09c3d7d7bd1e/099a55c7fbed5496?q=copy+sql+6.5+logins+to+sql+2000&rnum=10#099a55c7fbed5496
but when I run it, it gives me alot of errors. Can anyone help me with any
suggestions. Thanks.

New SQL Server DBAI would just script them out, type in the passwords, and go on down the road
personally. Provided you don't have too many SQL Logins.

they are encrypted? Thanks.

out the parameters for sp_addlogin). Also, see if the KB article that has sp_help_revlogin (search
for that word) has something you can use in order to facilitate the scripting of your current
logins.
