A few months ago an ex employee decided to change the
administrator password for the local account on our Win2k
pro server before she left. She decided not to share this
information with anyone and is now playing dumb. We
didn't find this out until just recently when I restarted
the server. This was a new server and this administrator
id was the only account. What are my options of
logging/getting into this server? I'd prefer not to do a
rebuild as that would involve shipping the server for
software reinstallation.
