Server 2003 Lost Password

dbnavan

Hi All,


I recently was asked to help move the computers from one office to a new premises, when I got there someone had already turned off the server running windows server 2003.

Anyway to make a long story short, nobody in the office has a clue what the Admin password is and I cant log in, plenty off software on the net to 'hack' in but I dont know which ones to trust, there is valuable data on the server.

I have also spent an hour and a half trying all the obvious passwords and even not so obvious, company who orignally set it up are gone out of business and left no documentation.

Any ideas?

be warned that in a small percentage of cases this program causes you to lose all login abilities.

I've never seen this happen but just in case clear it with the bossman yeah.

I have another one in work that's proven handy in the past if the above is too complicated but I can't remember the name off hand.

I got in via a guest and changed the admin password because guest was actually an admin profile. Bad setup thanks anyway
