It is very easy to use a boot disk with specific software to reset the
windows 2000 administrator password. These boot disks are readily and freely
available in the net. Therefore, yes, they could easily access all your
stuff.
Most likely they did not steal the laptop for the information but for the
hardware, and therefore will propably wipe it. I'd still go and change any
important passwords ASAP.
