URGENT - Win2000pro Admin Password Recovery
#1
Hi,
Does anyone have a util that will recover/set the admin password in Win2000pro? It seems that one of our PCs in Egypt does not like the password (supposedly) set during setup. We've tryed all the other standard ones we use but no luck.
I need to get this done in the next hour or so, so if anyone has anything that can help it's much appreciated. If possible it needs to be something simple as it's their non-IT bod there who will be doing it.
Mail me if you prefer.
Cheers

Can you join it to a LAN?
When you join the machine to the LAN it should ask for permission of an account to join teh domain, which will then give a Domain Admin account Admin rights on the PC.

Hi King,
That's the same util that Neil and I have. I'm going through this on a test machine at the mo and writing some (hopfully) user-proof instructions for it.
Thanks anyway.
