Reset Windows Server Password
Windows Server
Password reset
chntpw
Utilman.exe
cmd.exe
net user command
Command prompt
This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to reset a Windows Server password when it cannot be fixed by `chntpw`. The process involves swapping `Utilman.exe` with `cmd.exe`, accessing the command prompt through widgets, and using the `net user` command to reset the password.
chntpw does not work this time. it will auto restore
the SAM file.
instead, under directory C:\Windows\System32, swap Utilman.exe (remember to back it up) with cmd.exe then click widgets in login window to popup command prompt, type net user <username> <password> to reset.
