If this is not a domain controller, search this newsgroup or www.jsiinc.com
for the word "password." You'll find a lot of possible answers, including
moving the hard drive to another computer and renaming the SAM file, or
using a special linux boot disk. [This question is asked and answered here
about every day.] Since you don't know what else is installed on that
server, you may want to consider reinstalling Windows instead, to avoid
problems later on.
