hi.
im working on a HP Proliant server. The service company that was handling this server went bankrupt, so there is nobody to see about the domain admin password.
Ive tryed various means already. ive even payed $60 for a program that didn't even do the job.
I can clear the local administrator account password but none of the domain admin's in AD.
Also i cannot login locally because there must be a policy setup to deny local admin login.
These are the things i did.

1. I went to this site and tried this method.

2. I went to loginrecovery.com to retrieve the local admin password, successfully.

3. i used Offline NT Password & Registry Editor but it needs drivers for scsi, raid. - would this method get a domain admin password, if i get the drivers for it?
 
i get an error message. the password, username is incorrect.
 
sorry.. i should have said more.i get an error message after login attempts, it says the password, username is incorrect.
i read further into it and someone mentioned to put the /domain for the net user command. ive done that already. i tryed it without the /k and with it. ive tryed a known user admin name and ive also tryed the administrator username. none seem to work.
