no password (WNT)

[marisola]

what can I do if I forgot the administrator password of NT?

[gavsta]

do you have any other accounts with admin access?? if so login using that account and reset the admin password account that way.

There also used to be a program called LophtCrack which you could import the SAM of the local machine into and crack the passwords with. Not sure of its availability anymore.

Here is a link to a thread that was discussing this very thing - no admin password.

I would follow gavsta's suggestion as W2K does not seem to be very consistent regarding some files required to change or create the admin password. LophtCrack is good and effective!

As a matter of fact, I can't find the software Lophtcrack... does anyone know where to get it?

have a look on kazaa for lophtcrack or NTpasswd.exe both will do the job for you

LophtCrack, L0phtCrack, or now known as LC4 can be downloaded from @stake.com
