Forgot password
Hi,
This is a win 2012 server which is not under domain. There is not thing on this server, but we forgot the password. We do not have usb pwd reset key as well.
We do have the cd that comes with the box. Is there any special steps to take in order to reinstall server? thanks

After following the steps, when I press Windows Key + U. I see this instead of changing the pwd prompt. Not sure why

Awawada.
So sorry. There were no responses listed before I hit the Submit button. I guess we posted at same time.
But you can have the credit. It's cool.

This is not a prompt. It is merely a notification setting.
Does it just sit there or does something happen when you press a key?

Correct.
You cannot run multiple executables on the same line. They need to run separately.

Just like copy/paste in Word.
You must first execute a copy action then execute a paste action.

The plan is reinstalling the operating system because of a forgotten password?
Why not just reset the password, as per Microsoft's instructions?
