Moved database to new server...before creating logins

I feel like an idiot for this.
We are moving our SQL Server database (2000 Standard) to a new server
(also 2000 standard--don't worry, we've got a separate license for it).
What I did was backup the database on the old server and restore it to
the new server for testing our software application.
Only problem is, I didn't create the users beforehand, so now I can't
log into the new server with the login. It says I can't access my
default database.
WIthout dropping the database, is there a way I can fix this? It would
be easy enough to drop and re-restore the database, but if there is a
shorter way that would also work just as well, please enlighten me.Sure there are several articles here that cover this and more. But at the
least you can just create a new Login and then use sp_change_users_login to
map the user to the login.
