Post subject: | WHS 2011 Password Reset |
Hello all, I had the misfortune of forgetting my server admin password. I built my new server, used the password, and installed my clients, and life was good. I had 'remember password' ticked in the connector and in RDP, so after using that for awhile, I forgot the darn password!! Overall, I had been fairly displeased with WHS 2011, as I had 'upgraded' from WHS V1. This only added to my displeasure. I had finally gotten this server running the way I wanted, and I was not about to do a re install of the server OS over something as trivial as a forgotten password!! So, after some searching I found a tool that works. Look here: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ I used this tool (booting from a USB memory stick) to reset my administrator password. Worked like a CHAMP, and I'm back in the saddle without having to spend hours re-installing the OS. I thought I'd post this in the hopes of helping someone else with the same problem! EDIT: You need to have a monitor and keyboard hooked up to your WHS to use the password reset tool. Regards, Mach1 |
