Hello all.
I have forgotten the local admin password to a machine i am adding to a new domain.
The problem is that i have already dis-joines from the domain and only have access to the local machine now.
I need access to the machine under administrator to join the new domain, but don't know the password.
HELP PLEASE!
David

if its windows based os check out www.l0pht.com
if its unixed based you can boot from the os install cd create a new account and then copy the details for the password for the user you just created in the shadow file over the root passwords details you can now boot and login as root using your new user password.

David, my understanding with Win 2000/XP systems is that you can log on locally with whatever user you can get on with, but to join the computer to a domain you need admin rights on the domain you are trying to join? You are normally asked for a user id and password with authority to do this during the process....
