[Pc_Support] Windows 2k passwords.

[George Laiacona]

It's an admin pw. I don't have complete control over all of the County's PCs. Some are purchased and put in place by departments (but not added to my network, thankfully) without my knowledge. Of course, when they barf IT is called to rescue the day. Politics at it's finest.

It's pretty simple with tools like Cain, DumpSec, etc.  Do you have a 
working logon account on the machine?  Or are you just trying to reset a 
forgotten Admin pw?
