Hi List, one of my client forgot his syskey password, i tried booting up on erd 2005 and run/update syskey.exe but it did not help. Is there anyway to disable syskey from running on startup or updating the syskey password?
Since syskey is there to protect the user databases (SAM) by means of strong encryption (and the password is protecting the en-/decryption key BTW), your only way around this would be to try to bruteforce the password. You always could reset the SAM of course, but would loose any local accounts, groups and trusts.
The ERD will only contain encrypted versions of your SAM BTW. Denis --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
