How to reset forgotten Active Directory Domain Administrator password
First of all, you should never work with the “Administrator” account. Each admin should have his own account, for two reasons. First, it makes troubleshooting easier if an admin messes up. Second, if one admin forgets his password, another admin can reset it through Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC). Whenever you reset a password, however, note that the corresponding account will no longer be able to access passwords stored in Internet Explorer or files that have been encrypted with EFS.
