Comment: I am the network administrator for a Military school and my assistant changed the admin password and doesnt know what it is. Is there any to view it. I have a remote desktop connection under a temp admin password so I can work on the problem

Reply: (edit)No, you can't view it. If you're the Admin, then just change it. Then write it down and store in a secure place. Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

Reply: (edit)A temp admin password is a temporary administrator password that I set up as a fail safe if the main administrator was ever forgotten, changed or misplaced by mistake.

Reply: (edit)It is rocket science if you're trying to hack into the Admin account at a military school and don't know your Admin from a hole in the ground. Today seems like a good day to chew through the restraints.

Reply: (edit)my advise: as the network admin of your military school, "change" the temp admin account to be the regular admin account. Then create another "temp" admin account to safeguard against your assistants forgetting the admin passwords when they change them
