HELP!!!
My administrator account has been disabled, the account(name)was
renamed, but the account logon was still administrator, not thinking
of this when they were cleaning up ad disabling accounts, they
disabled the administrator. now any services that load with that
account fail, and no other user has rights to change, or enable the
admin account. how can i re enable this admin account? Is there any
3rd party software or is there a way in windows?
 
It's your lucky day :)

Hi Deji,

Curious, will that work with an AD account? It seems that the boot disk
(which I've used this in the past for NT4) will be able to read the SAM
account in NT4 but not accounts out of the AD database..

Thanks
