Cannot login to Win2k Server with admin password
Hi All,
Desperately seeking help. I have scoured this site today -may have missed info but think I have covered most bases.
Problem:
Unable to login with administrators password on the PDC. With that looked on this site found sites that would decrypt password for account. Password was recovered for local account but was rejected when I tried to login.
Backdoors - failed too.
Does any one know how I can get in to the system offline and reset the password in the SAM?
Until I can get in to the system I don't know whether the system was compromised (likely) or the server spat the dummy.
Any help is warmly welcomed.

Thank you very much - Now that I am less stressed - active directory recovery mode is something that I just did not see when I was in safe mode.
TY TY TY.
