I've been experimenting with a SBS 2003, and find myself now in a quandry.
As per best practices, I created an user account and gave this user
account admin (enterprise, local, domain. etc) rights. As per best
practices, I disabled the Administrator account. No other user accounts
have admin access. Non-admin users cannot login the sbs server
interactively. As you might have guessed, I have forgotten the password to
the account of the user with admin rights. Resetting the Administrators
password would not help because the account is disabled.
Is there a way of accessing the server with admin rights without having to
reinstall the whole OS? Is there a way to reset the password to the user
with admin rights?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
