Password Recovery - Windows Server 2003/2008

[Lonlone Lee]

I have an issue with the local Adminstrator passwords. The servers are not on a domain and all I have is the local Adminsitrator account. The servers are ProLiant DL380 G6's. Has anyone had any success with any Windows Password Recovery Tools and these servers? The tools that I've tried aren't able to recognize the array and therefore can't find the Windows Partition. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I used Offline NT Password & Registry Editor on Proliant servers - works great

Here I collect some popular solutions to help reset HP laptop password if your laptop installed Windows system such as Windows 7/Vista/XP.

Solution 1 Reset HP laptop password by another user account with administrator privilege.

If you have another available user account as administrator, you can use this account to reset other user password when you forgot HP password. Take Windows XP for example, follow the steps bellow:

Step 1: Login Windows as administrator, click “control panel” and open “user accounts” to access users list.

Step 2: Click whichever user account which you want to reset its password, select “change the password” or “remove the password”.

Step 3: Type a new password in the “New password box” and type it again to confirm. Input a password hint or not then click “OK” to complete HP password reset.   

Note, there is a hide Administrator account was created in our computer when we install Windows system. You can login with it in safe mode.

Step 1: Press F8 immediately when restart your HP laptop to access safe mode.

Step 2: Refer to the 2,3 step above to reset password of whichever user account.

From the lack of correct answers, I doubt this problem has been resolve, but Lonlone, are you able to confirm if you ever got something to work on a HP DL 380 G6 and if so what tool did you use?

For the others on the trail (and anyone else reading this in the future), the biggest problem with most (if not all) provided "solutions" is that they dont include the required drivers for the array controller in the DL380 G6's... and hence have not provided any usable solution.

[RCB_2]

I think that the real problem is not the Password crack tool, but the drivers to be able to access the smartarray. Depending on the tool you use, you will need to provide the drivers of the array.

But I don't find any information about how to create a HP password reset disk. Then I used a tool to create a HP password reset disk in efficient way. Get it's details on here. Hope my message can help you solve this kind problem.
