I have used Windows Password Recovery Corporation for my forgotten Server domain password.

The procedure is so easy and safe with 3 steps by DIY a password reset disk!

As you said that you must be the admin of the domain,so you have to use password recovery tool to solve this problem .

If possible download and try with the one.

I think, of course the point should not add to my profile, coz it is entirely my fault.

Try reinstall the same and get ur data as I mentioned in NOTES…. If not successful, this can also be accomplished by removing the hard drive, placing it as a slave on another computer (XP and W2K is safe) and then accessing the file system. Of course u need a second computer, but for some folks it may be an easier solution.
Another way, U can install alternate instance of the OS NT (not 2000) on a different folder than WINNT, otherwise possibly u may end up with the same bad situation. Use ALTWINNT for an example. U delete this folder anyway, and it’s best that u just format that partition after you’re done. Formatting the partition will be much easier than deleting individual files and folders. OR use 3 rd party SW to recover password.

i tried booting in all 3 types of safe mode
safe mode
safe mode with networking
safe mode with command prompt
and all 3 go back to normal boot routine. i cannot start insafe mode
ALso tried “last known configuration” but get a ‘Service Control Manager’ message – “Windows could not be started as configured. A previous configuration was used instead.” and i get the same log on page requesting a password for a domain i don’t know.
Also tried Directory Services restore mode and it initially starts in safe mode and i get the ‘directory services repair message, then it goes back to the Dell start screen and boots unitl i get the same logon page requesting a pasword again.
How do i get into my server?
i need to get my data.
