Administrator Password.... can another Admin reset it?

[luis]

yep... I know I should have written it somewhere....
I did not...
I have Admin rights, but forgot the Administrator password from one of the
machines I have.

is there a way to reset it?

TIA!

If you have Admin rights on the machine go to Start>Run and type "control
userpasswords 2" (without the quotes) Then highlight "Administrator" then go
down where it says "Password for Administrator" and click the "Reset
Password" button. You will then be able to change the password.

Hi Dave,
this seems really what I need...
Doesn't seem to work...
"control userpasswords" brings the corresponding user management dialog of
the control panel.... but "control userpasswords 2" doesn't bring up any
dialog....

TIA
