Windows 2008 Reset Boot Password

Forgetting how Windows Server 2008r2 is handled

Sometimes, we will forget the server password for various reasons, such as the server too many, too miscellaneous, or directly is black out, this time we want to log in, we have no way to find out, in fact, to avoid this problem, we can make a password reset disk, but this is not the focus of our discussion, We're going to talk about how to get rid of the password in forgotten situations.

Let's see a picture.

is not very familiar, we pay attention to the lower left corner of the circle, we open to see, attention to the "on-Screen Keyboard", this in our system has a file called Osk.exe, located in SYSTEM32, this time we take it to try

First we put 08R2 CD-ROM into the machine, and then restart, from the CD-ROM boot, we choose the language, the next step, rest assured that we will not put the system to reload

Here we point "repair computer", note, do not point to install

Out with the system Recovery option, here we select the system directly after the next

Here, we'll just point to "command prompt."

For example, the first step, we first put Osk.exe back up, put in d:\ because my system has that 100M partition, so my system area here is D:\

The second step, we take the Osk.exe to perform the delete operation

In the third step, we make a copy of Cmd.exe to System32 and command it into Osk.exe.

Exit

Here we choose to restart

, we have restarted the server, we point to the lower left corner of the circle

Let's tick that "on-Screen Keyboard" and click OK.

Then the following screen appears, because we have replaced the real Osk with Cmd.exe, so the cmd interface appears.

Here we can change the password directly to what we want, such as

We exit cmd, log back into the server, use the password we just changed.

Perfect success
