Modify the password for Dell PowerEdge 1950 win Server 2003

The company's one dellpoweredge1950 server, the manager said the password forgot, because I had vowed to change the password is very simple, so to me, a take over just know not so simple, rack-type, quite thin, but very heavy, did not see the optical drive, power button, restart the key. After the boot is really no password can not enter the system, online search several methods, sticky key loopholes, with the PE system to delete Sam files and so on, tried the sticky key loophole invalid, so with no tools, forced power off run.

The next morning to the USB drive and a bunch of CD-ROM, touch, found that the front panel can be opened, opened and found that there is a CD-ROM drive, with a search for a night to find the carved erdcommander2005 disk boot, to the final report can not find a disk drive, After entering the PE system, you can't change the password with locksmith. The original Win2003 installation disk with the server is also the same newspaper cannot find the disk drive cannot be installed, my most worried thing finally happened: Raid driver, into the BIOS looked under the RAID1, and then looked at the instructions, the RAID card model is perc6/i, So he ran away with lunch at noon.

It took a little time to check it out at noon. There are 3 ways to solve the drive that loads raid:

1, load with floppy disk

2, use the software to write the drive into the U disk, U disk as a floppy disk.

3, using NLite to integrate the drive into the Server2003 installation disk.

1 on the pass, all the time, who has a floppy disk. Moreover the server I also dare not dismantle, wants me to buy a USB interface floppy disk I also reluctant.

3 also not enough time, server2003 installation CD I have, but the ISO image can not be found, the next too time-consuming.

Dell official website under a Usbkeyprepf6 software, and from the Dell official website found PERC6 Drive, is the exe suffix file, but you can extract, the drive to extract the Usbkeyprep files directory, plug in a U disk, With administrator rights to start Usbkyprepf6.exe, press prepare, reported fail, is because a U disk on a file was opened, turn off the file prepare, reported successfully.

Plug in on their own machine to try the installation 2003, press F6 can not load the driver, may be 1,u disk did not succeed. 2, not Dell hardware is not used. Things to now also can only try, and rushed to the company, plug in U disk, Erdcommander start, press F6 load RAID driver, there is reaction, that excited ah. Press S to load, finally found the installed Win2003, into the PE system immediately after the locksmith changed the password.
