| 420487 | 2006-01-12 12:46:00 | (a Windows 2003 Server question) Hi, I am a real newbie to the server world. Someone told me that I should create another account with admin priv, but he didn't tell me why. Should I do it? why? Thnx. |

This has saved me once before where one of my clients had changed the administrator password (and didn't tell me what it was) and then they left the company. Luckily I had made another user with admin rights so I logged in with that and changed the administrator password. |

There's hope this'll be fixed in the next version of Windows. There's a Linux utility (bootable floppy) that can reset a Windows administrator's password to blank. I've used it before. Scary, but true. |
