Login Problems
I have a windows server 2008 r2 and after I log off of remote desktop, and went to the server to log on. It says password incorrect. I reset the password using command prompt in a install disk. It still won't log in even to the backup admin account. Everthing else runs fine. Any help on this?

If it is a domain controller the command line reset tools will not work, they only change the AD restore mode password. There is a YouTube video that explains how to reset a domain admin password that works quite well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar-VoO9ogHc&feature=player_embedded Alternatively you can use commercial software: http://www.lostpassword.com/windows-enterprise.htm If it is not a DC you can use the following free tool: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ Rob Williams

Thanks, the accounts were locked out, so the free software reset them.
