can someone help.
I have a windows 2kpro desktop. and the user uses the administrator account!
now the killer. he has forgotten the password.
has anybody any idea how i can bypass this to get accsess to the system. with out reinstalling windows.
Go here (http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html) and download the 2mb ISO image. Burn it to CD and boot from CD.
It will lead you through to the point where you can tell it which password you want to reset. Reset the admin password to the value of your choice.
remove CD
log in to win2k
export admin profile
create user for the numptie which is not member of admin group
import admin profile into new user and ensure it hasn't changed groups
don't tell him the admin password :)
cheers for that :)
and don't give numpti user CD or instructions on where to find CD :)
For anyone else who is interested this works with NT4, W2k and XP :)
