I can do it ~ ~ ~

This adds a good administrator.

If your admin password is forgotten, we can restore it by the following method

1, can log on locally dc;2, need local Administrator password (DC also has local administrator); 3, Srvany and INSTSRV (included in Resource Kit)

*DC's local administrator is also called Directory Recovery Administrator or machine account, and I think we all have this hint when we install DC.

First step:

Restart Windows 2003 DC computer, enter directory restory service mode, log in with local Administrator account;

Step Two:

Create a new directory, such as: C:/resdomadmin, and then copy Srvany,instsrv and%systemroot%/system32/cmd.exe,

Step Three:

Go to the command prompt and run instsrv passwordrecovery "C:/resdomadmin/srvany. EXe "

Fourth Step:

Run Registry Editor: regedit, find Hkey_local_machine/system/currentcontrolset/services/passwordrecovery,

Then add a subkey named parameters, and create two new key values below:

Name: Application
Type: REG_SZ (String)
Value: D:/temp/cmd.exe

Name: Appparameters
Type: REG_SZ (String)
Value:/k NET User Administrator New_password

Note: The new_password here requires a password-compliant policy, such as P@ssw0rd

Then run services.msc, find PasswordRecovery, configure the Run as Automatic (Automatic), and then select Allow interaction with the desktop in the Properties login page.

Fifth Step:

Restart your computer. Then you can log in with the password you just configured.

Then run the following action: net stop PasswordRecovery, SC delete passwordrecovery

Finally, don't forget to delete c:/resdomadmin this directory.
