L0phtcrack won't work if the backup SAM has SYSKEY enabled.
By the way, you can also delete the SAM file.
all passwords will be reset to blank.

Thank you DC1

as far as microsoft's stance goes, absolutely not. a format is your only option. if you can locally log on to server (guest accounts, power users, etc.) then you can hack SAMS. visit www.cracks.am for an endless source of utilities for just such purpose.

Is this administrator local on the machine or is it on the server

If is administrator on local working station you can edit the passwaor with the manager after log in with server administrator account

if is administrator from the server you have to find a crak for passwords to solve problem
