Hello,
problem!
just got back from a 14d easter holliday, and guys what, forgot my adminpasw
for our school server......
I can access it through rpd that hold my pw in it's memory.
How can I find my pass in that rpd program? (need the same pw for other
things, so I really need it)
it's the latest version of rdp, so "remote desktop p�ss view" doesn't work.
regards,
N.

There is no way (or at least no Microsoft approved way) to recover a
forgotten password. You are lucky that you can still get in on a remembered
password. You must now change it immediately by typing the following command
at a Command Prompt:

net user nico xxyyzz

When finished you should do three things:
- Synchronise all other passwords
- Make a note of the new password
- Create and test a second Admin account so that you never end up in this
awkward situation again. You must, of course, record this password too.
