 Windows 2000
Expert opinions are requested:
Situation # 1:
An administrator recently changed the password for log-in id "administrator", misplaced the paper on which he noted it and don't remember this newly changed password, is there anyway out to retreive the password for log-in id "administrator" in Windows 2000 Server????
Situation # 2:
A PC installed with Windows NT had a name consisting of some alpha-numeric characters (like 0123CH37X982NY) which was then re-named to 'Micro'. Need to find out what was the name before we changed that. Is it possible through any mean like checking through registry etc ????

Take Enforcer's suggestion on this one.

Wouldn't have been connected to a PDC would it? You could use Server Manager to see what it might have been. That is, if you had it connected to a NT Domain.

# 1:
Thanks enforcer... After visiting the link it seems that only way out is some software cracking tool.
I wanted to know if any other option, made/left by Microsoft, is available.
# 2:
The PC is not connected to network but is a stand-alone running a textile oriented software.

Other than reinstall, probably not.

Evidently the software is somehow linked to this old name and refusing to run? NT does keep the computer name in the registry, but that would have been overwritten when the name was changed. Of course that would depend on how many times the system has been rebooted since the name change. If it has only been once, then your chances of finding the old name is great. It could still be in one of the older ControlSets left in the registry from previous boots. If the system has ever been backed up, you could restore to another system too. You would need a complete backup that also included the registry.

1. There is also another method, to install another instance of W2K. Check on the technet for this.
