Recovery Console, how do I reset

administrator's password?

You should use the ntpasswd utility:

Or ERD commander or any windows PE solutions ( they are less destructives ).

If you plan to use "Offline NT password&registry editor", reset(blank)the password first and dont forget to exit and save, *This is very important, otherwise you may not be able to log on at all*

Read the instructions carefully, and understand them!

Actually DreampackPL uses the Recovery Console ....

Note that the attached file is Active Password Changer v 3.0 by a company called Active Data Recovery Software, and it's just a demo (it won't actually do anything other than display data). This post is a violation of rule 1.c. Also, given that you are obviously also user gtejavarma from the IPs and email addresses used, and using multiple accounts is a violation of rule 4.b, consider yourself banned (on both accounts) for obvious failures to read or follow the forum rules.

1.c Users should be made aware of what they are getting prior to any download/install package from a Member provided link. As such, every post which contains links to repackaged software MUST state specifically the nature of the software. This includes, but is not limited to, trialware, shareware, payware, freeware etc. If a trial version, the length of the trial should be stated as should whether an uninstall is part of the package. If registration keys/information is required to be input for continued usage of software in the package, then the post must state that fact as well. Any message with link(s) found to not state this required information will be removed and will result in measures being taken against the poster, up to and including a ban. Also, if the stated information is found to be deceptive or the software redistribution is found to be illegal (rule 1.b ), the poster will be banned.

4.b Should you be suspended or banned from MSFN, you are not allowed to open a new account to re-obtain the ability to post on the forums. Suspensions and bans are given for a reason and are not up for debate. Users found to be using multiple accounts on the forum, regardless of being suspended/banned or not, will have their accounts immediately banned.
