Hi all,

an ex contractor has changed the login password for our SBS2003
server, not only that but he has added a batch file to invoke if we
try to reset the passwords and login as administrator, see note below.

Dude, I certainly hope you've already called a lawyer. What's the reason
this contractor is doing this? Is your company remiss on paying a bill?

Anyway, you couldn't simply reset the password unless you had an account
you could use that had sufficient privileges to do it in the first place.
Do you have a back door admin account? Do you have backup media with
accessible full backups of your server?




Is this possible and is there anyway around this?

Your urgent assistance is greatly appreciated.


Regards
Simon Gare
