What happens if you hit ctrl-alt-del? Maybe you can log yourself off and log-in as Administrator?

One major downside of Win2K is it will only install on a completely clean hard-disk, meaning if the disk it partitioned, you have to erase all partitions to re-install.

My magic bullet for this is Drive Image (by PowerQuest).

If you can see the XP partition from Win2k, seek out and rename the Iomega driver/Software. If you can keep thier software from loading, you may get out of the reboot loop.

Safe Mode with Boot Logging might tell you something or it might not. The log file is ntbtlog.txt in the C:\WINNT folder (search in C: to be sure you find it).

I also came across this link--sounds like what you wanted for editing the registry but I haven't tried it:
