Windows Workgroup Postoffice

[TKinton]

Have just taken over the administration of a wgpo. Unfortunatly the last administrator neglected to leave me the admin username or password. The system is used solely for internal email and sharing of MS Schedule.

Is there either a backdoor route or is there a way of copying everything across to a new postoffice without losing the admin rights of the new PO.

My last resort will be to just set up a new PO and set up all the users again. I want to avoid this if i possibly can.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having this exact same problem! Inherited a Microsoft Mail postoffice from a former admin. Do not know the admin password. Did you find a way to fix this or did you have to recreate everything? I think if we have to go the route of recreating, it might be better to just set up a POP3 server. I'm not sure if they use the schedule or not though which would not be available in a regular POP3. I've searched all over the internet for a 'backdoor' or password recovery but haven't found an answer. But I know that the password is stored in the WGPO0000\GLB\ACCESS.GLB file because you can replace it with another copy that you know the admin password .. but it seems to 'break' the server for other users. Any help would be appreciated!
