I forgot my domain administrator account in Windows 2008 server. Looking around the net, I found one youtube video by chateaumathieu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar-VoO9ogHc.

This guy video showing how to reset your domain administrator account using original Windows 2008 DVD. No other tools needed. Dead simple and very efective.

Here’s how to do it:

• Insert the original Windows Server 2008 installation DVD
• Restart your computer and choose to boot from DVD
• Click Next button at Install Windows window
• Choose option “Repair your computer” link
• Click Next button again
• Click command prompt
• Change your current drive to drive C:\ by typing “C:”
• Move your directory to Windows\System32
• Backup original Utilman.exe by typing “MOVE Utilman.exe Utilman.exe.bak”
• Replace Utilman.exe with cmd.exe by typing “COPY Cmd.exe Utilman.exe”
• Restart windows
• At the login screen, press button Windows+U, this will replace Ease of Access window with command prompt
• Change your forgotten administrator password by typing “NET USER administrator <new password>”
• Done, now you can login using your new replaced Administrator password
• You can put back original Utilman.exe from your backup before using the same way with your Windows 2008 DVD

Easy way thanks to chateaumathieu
