Re: Big Problem w/ Admin accounts locked out

Unfortunately, I sure can't login with either the old or what I'm told
he's 100% sure are the new passwords. I can only log in at this point
using remote desktop with a power user (not admin) account.

Can you log into the server (directly at the console) using either the new

Hello all,
I have a system where my manager decided he was afraid we had a
potiential security problem so he says he went into SBS using his
account (which has Domain Admin rights) to Server Management --> Users,
right-clicked his and each of the other domain admin accounts and
changed the passwords. He also changed the Administrator password in
this same manner. He then disconnected his remote desktop session and
now for some reason we can't login with any domain admin accounts or
the Administrator account. We do have a power user account that can
login but with it's lower privileges, we can't do anything with the
domain admin accounts.

If there is any way to get back into those accounts I would greatly,
greatly appreciate any help. I'm terrified I see a reinstall in my
future right now.
