Cannot locate Local Administrator Account Password for Windows 2003 Standard Server

**Anilrgowda** · 02-Feb-2007, 12:03 AM

Here is my problem. I am doing work for a company that just bought an existing business. With this they purchased a Server that no one seems to know the Administrator password for. It is a Windows 2003 Standard server and a member of a workgroup and I can log on with one account but it does not have any Admin righs. I have tried using the Linux shell where you go in and it allows you to change the password, but have had no luck when it comes back up. Does anyone know of an easy way to get this done. I am at a loss, I have been on Google and everything and I really don't want to have to do a parallel install for this.
