I have a Windows 2003 R2 server whose password has been forgotten long ago (it was retired a year ago, but needs to be resurrected for some files on it).

I used to have a bootable CD that would allow me to wipe out passwords, but I've packed it away and it is not convenient to get out.

Anybody know of something on the web or elsewhere that might have solve this problem or help me create a new bootable CD?

Everything I've found so far have been demos. They let me get in, but they don't allow me to make changes.

I don't recall the exact name or details, but there's a bootable Linux thingy that'll do what you want. Like a tools disk. And free, of course.

But I can't remember which one it is I liked. There's several floating around.

Got a few CDs loaded up at work today with various utilities to try.

Got home and remembered the password.

That's why I write all mine down.
