I painfully lost the admin password on this Server 2003 box, that I have not had to log into for over a year.. The account was given to me by another, and is not one I created.. I do however, have a means of logging in with a Power user account. Is there a way to extract/change the admin password on this box with the power user account..? Any help appreciated!!

I do not believe a power user will have access to change an Admin password, did you try? Is this server part of a domain?

Not part of a domain.. No cannot be done by normal methods.. Would need to probably hack the registry, which is what I am looking for.. A Back door method..

It's against the site rules to assist in recovering lost passwords:

All I'll say is that if you have physical access to the box it's pretty easy to do.
