Lost Password!

[Rich Grise]

I swear, all I was doing was configuring TCP/IP, on the boss's computer,
of course, and when I got to the "You must restart now..." box, I
restarted, then the computer wouldn't let me log in again, with the
boss's real password; this morning the boss can't log in either.

Neither of us knows the Administrator password on this machine; I
told the boss that he'd have to contact whoever put the system
together in the first place.

Is there any kind of workaround?

Thanks,
Rich Grise

Hi Rich,

We do not have a workaround other than to reinstall the Operating System.

Winternals has a nice utility to restore lost admin passwords. It will work
on a W2K machine as long as it's not a domain controller.
