Thanks for all the positive posts. I am locked out of the server as
it stands right now.

You can try this site: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Basically, download an ISO burn it to CD, then boot the SBS server
from it. Its a Linux utility.

Anyway, it will walk you through resetting the password. I've done
this several times on XP and its worked fine.

That's for local accounts, not domain accounts...and see the rest of the
thread.

One thing though; the first time I tried this when first booting into
XP, I was told the disk was corrupt and needed checking. If this
happens, DON'T DO THE CHECK. It will undo the password reset. Logon,
change password, and reboot again.

Also note I haven't tried this one Win2k3 server, and no matter what
OS you use, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
