So long as you are in a domain yes. Just log in with the domain admin id, right click on My Computer. Choose manage. Click on User & Groups. Click on users. Right click Administrator and choose change password.

I hope you find this post helpful. Please let me know if it was.

Regards,

If you built a System Recovery Diskette, that will help you as well (as long as you know the password at the time the diskette was built).

Or you can boot from the OS CD and choose System Recovery. For this one you need to know the password that was setup when the OS was first installed.

Good Luck!

The link below has a program you can purchase which will allow you to reset the ADMINISTRATOR password. I have used it and it works quite easily.
