Lost password recovery

Password recovery, Security, Antivirus, Symantec

Our small Windows 2k network uses Symantec A-V Corporate Edition; the password has been lost, therefore we are unable to do scans on network drives. Is there a utility that will recover such a password, or any other method of doing so?

I believe the default is symantec unless it was changed when setup. try it, if it does not work you would have to contact Symantec to have their tech support either remote in to reset it or show you how to do it.
