i've tried those links that jfwebber gave me and followed the instructions but still not solve the problems. I've tried to restore the system state but when i start the server using Directory service restore mode i couldn't log in using administrator and other accounts, the password alawys inccorect.

FIY, everytime i open all the active directory snap-in (Domains and trust, sites and services, and users and computers), it returns error message

Password for Restore Mode is something different from the Administrators's. You remember what password you had given for Restore Mode when you installed AD?

codo, if you do not know the restore mode password it can be changed. Login to the DC and start the command prompt. Then, type in NTDSUTIL. Follow the menus to change the restore mode password.

Hope This Helps,

Good Luck!
