This can reset the local admin password. http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html

Someone who doesn't work here anymore removed domain admin privilege from the local admin group on several W2K workstations. The only member of the local admins is now the local administrator. For some reason they made the domain admin a member of the local power users group. I don't have the local admin passwords on these machines, they could be anything. I cannot uninstall or install applications from these workstations. Anyone know of a way for a domain admin to force their way into the local admin group? The alternative is to reinstall 2000. Thanks, Dave
