RE: Lost local admin credentials


Hi Wyck,

Thanks for your reply.

You said "Active Directory Maitenance mode", but, I do not find the option.
Do you mean that is Restore Mode? If so, when you type a Directory Service
Restore Mode Administrator password, this password is also used by Recovery
Console, and is separate from the Administrator password that is stored in
Active Directory. To change the Password, please refer to the following KB
article:

239803 How to Change the Recovery Console Administrator Password on a Domain
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=239803

Hope the information help.

Best regards,

| Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm sorry - I wasn't clear - I have
been
| unable to log in to Active Directory Maitenance mode. I understand this
is
| the account (Machine) that was created when the system was installed and
the
| credentials are different than the domain admin account which works fine.
