Hello, good news bad news. Good news is I have been awarded all the systems administration duties at the place I have been working as a tool maker for the past year. Go figure. They fired the previous guy and I have a legitimate question I have to figure out. 4 of the systems are running win2kpro and no one has record of the administrative password for these machines.

I can prove the position and need for help if I have to, can anyone pm me with a solution. Thanks again,

Jim

Cruise over to NT Offline Admin PW and download this package and it will allow you to set the Admin PW to blank, you should be good to go after that.

If the servers are up, and you have access - they were left logged in to the Admin account (BAD security) and you have access to the SAM, you could run L0phtcrack against the SAM and it may give you the password, if it's fairly weak.
