[Ldsoss] Administrative account difficulties

[Steven H. McCown]

There are several free 'password recovery' tools available on the Internet.
"Emergency Boot CD" is a very easy tool to use.  Here is a link
(http://www.petri.co.il/forgot_administrator_password.htm) to a compilation
of tools.  Time to reset the password is about 2 min (incl boot time).
Microsoft MSDN pages used to reference L0phtCrack for password recovery, so
they understand this to be a real problem.  To avoid any snide remarks,
Linux isn't much better in this regard.  ;)

Subject: [Ldsoss] Administrative account difficulties

I feel like a bit of an idiot with this post, anyhow...

I've set up MLS so that the Branch Presidency has access to what they need, 
and set up my own personal account so I wouldn't need to touch the 
administrative account except for, well, administrator-level stuff.  

I did this about a year ago or so, and haven't needed to log in as 
Administrator for all that time.  Now, it looks like I'll be moving out of 
the area, and will need to turn it over to someone else.  Since I haven't 
logged in as Administrator in so long, I've gone and forgotten the 
Administrator's password.  I've tried everything that I thought it was, to
no 
avail.  What are my options now?
