Hi mike, welcome to Geeks to Go!

I assume you're talking about the administrator password? If not, simply ask your adminstrator to reset your password.

There are ways to reset/reveal an NT administrator password, but it wouldn't be responsible to post the information on a public board, or otherwise provide it to someone when not knowing them, or their intent -- sorry.

<_<

So what are your options? You could try "Guest" to see if the guest account is enabled, or reinstall Windows NT.

edit: Well, after a quick search, I've learned this information is widely available, so check out this link.

This is why it's important to lock down your server. Set BIOS passwords, boot from floppy, lock case, lock room, etc.
