Recovery...

[Guest Steven Sinclair]

I have a computer that I can no longer access (unfortunately, probably due to

a virus). I have tried all of the local admin user / password combinations,

but none of them are working. I'm thinking it got a virus that a few of our

servers got that actually changes the admin password.

 

Is there a patch / fix for changing the local admin account and resetting

the password or are there any other options to correct this problem?

 

Thanx.

This is a server group. It would be better for you to post your

question in WindowsXP.general or in Win2000.general. Don't

forget to state your operating system!
