Which password - the local sam password for Directory Services Restore that
is stored in the local sam? If so see the link below for more info including
the use of the setpwd command. Otherwise any administrator in the domain
can change reset the password on any domain account including the built in
administrator account for the domain by going to the account in Active
Directory Users and Computers, selecting the account and right clicking to
see the reset password option.--- Steve
