Hi all. I've posted on this list alot and I know the fears about disclosing potential security threatening info but I have a favor to ask. I'm at a DR site and I attempting to recover a child domain. I'm the domain admin(but not enterprise admin of Forest) of said child domain and the enterprise admin group have given me a copy of the root dc and a temp enterprise admin account to aid in recovery. here's my problem. the password for the account they gave me is wrong and there is no-one in the office to contact now and i need to do a restore(child domain,exchange2k,etc). I have the DRSM account and password and obviously physical access to the test root dc. Having this,is there anyway i can change the enterprise admin password or create a new one in this test AD? Again, I understand the relcutance in divluging certain info which may be tantamount to a security leak or a how to for hackers but since i have physical access to the machine, i think the topic is moot. thank you for any help.
