Hi,
If you lost/forgot windows server administrator password then here are the steps to reset without providing last password,
1- Take the hard disk of source OS of which you need the password.
2- Install on another windows machine to access the windows folder on this hard disk.
3- Goto folder Drive:\WINDOWS\system32\config.
4- Delete two SAM files in this folder.
5- Take the hard disk back to the server.
6- Start the OS and when prompted for password simply press Enter key that means blank password.
Take care.
