Windows Password recovery
Hi Experts,
I have a windows 2008 Server that was in the domain . I was able to login to it using my domain account ( I have admin previlage)
But for some testing, I had to remove it from domain and had restarted . Now the trouble is, It would let the login with only the Administrator windows login ( Nobody knows the password and no recovery disk was set)
I thought my domain account will still be a local user, But I can't change user on the login screen
Is there any means of getting in ? ( The Last option is to format the machine, if nothing works)
Your help is appreciated

Not sure if recommending a boot disk that contains pirated material is kosher on this forum... Hiren's has much pirated programs in it...
I have seen references to Hiren's removed here before because of inappropriate software being included.
