That you need the local admin password changed for that windows installation sorry if I wasnt clear, yesterday was one of those days. I have Windows installed, the local admin password got pooched and it is not on the domain, just trying to figure out if it is possible to change a local admin password with out plugging it into another computer. If that is the case, you can access the registry and use the above mentioned tool to do it (most easily by putting it back in a machine to run the tool.)Īs Kelly said, what is it you are really trying to do? Pull data from the drive? Log on to the drive to get at installed software? (Yes there are ways, but they aren't normally done). My best guess is that you are talking about a local windows account on that drive, but I have no idea how you would be accessing it attached as an external drive. Is it the windows password, an encryption password, the physical harddrive password. These will drive you towards the right answer. How you are accessing the drive (OS: is it a drive attached to a working system, or are you running the OS off of the external drive? How you are accessing the drive (hardware: external, internal, usb, etc.) There is nothing wrong with those methods as long as you know the times when you shouldn't use them.īut, if you could narrow down what you are talking about it would help. Many of the common fixes you will be directed to won't play nicely with those files, as most of those methods break convention to get to a desired outcome. If you ever have encryption on drives and have access issues, always mention that when describing your issues. But if you were one of those few that actually followed those procedures you probably wouldn't be here now. *if you are 1 of the approximately 7 people on the planet that made the backup of the encryption key, and maintained it so that it was current since the last password change, etc, then you are golden. So whenever you reset the password that way, those files can no longer be decrypted. This "key" is what your windows encrypted files use to open the files.

However if you have encrypted files (which it sounds like you might), running it will lose those files to you forever.* Part of how it works is by writing a new "key" for your userid.

The Offline NT password and Registry editor is an awesome tool for resetting windows passwords. If you are in need of being able to map a network drive from remote desktop back to local computer for development or possibly application specific reasons, this process is definitely a life saver.The way you describe it, you could be talking about any one of a number of things. Now if you look in Windows explorer, you will see a true network drive mapped under your Network Locations section.

Notice that all we have to do to map these in a true sense to a network drive letter is a simple net use \\tsclient\ and voila, the drive is mapped! Notice the format of the drive is in the form of a special UNC path represented by \\TSCLIENT\ so these are mappable. The redirected drives however, can be mapped to which is awesome! If you run a simple net usecommand inside of your RDP session, you will see the redirected drives appear. The traditional map network drivewouldn’t work as the ports required aren’t open.

For instance developers may have the need to have access to source code in a lab environment which they may not have RPC or NETBIOS traffic allowed. You may however have the need to map these redirected drives to real drive letters inside your remote desktop session.
