Subject: win2000 lost admin passwd, on RAID-
Comment:

Hi, I have found several utilities and methods for recuperating a lost admin password on a win2000 server. And most work fine on a server with regular FAT32 or NTFS partitions on SCSI or IDE disks, but nothing seems to work if win2000 is installed on a RAID-5 partition. Does anyone know if there is a way to recover or change the lost admin password on a windows2000 server installed on a RAID-5?

Is the server a domain controller??

If it is I think you are pretty much screwed.

If not, you should be able to delete the SAM even though the drives are striped...

I dunno... but it is worth a try.
