Help! Some how I erased myself from the Local Security Policy and the Domain Security Policy, along with the default Administrator right to logon locally. Now I can't log back on with any rights. The only accout that is allowed to log on locally is just a user with no rights. I setup a domain controller for learning puposes and was learning pretty good until now. The domain controller on a Win 2000 box is the only server that I have, I also am connected to a XP Pro workstation and a Win 2000 Professional workstation. I hope that their is a way to log back on to my server as an Administrator, but if not then I'm screwed, and I'm going to have to reformat the server and that is no fun. So, please someone let me know if it is possible or not, and if so, then how to fix. Thanks!!!

Install the adminpak.msi from the windows-server CD on a workstation. Those give you the administrative tools you need to import the default security template.
