There used to be a program called burgler that would extr5act a Netware 4 admin password. I don;t know if it works on NW5 or if it is still available.

by why me worry?

Uhh..you really shouldn't be using the admin account all that often. You should create admin equivalent accounts and use those instead. If you had admin equivalent account, you could have changed the root admin password without a problem. Security should be your top priority, not convenience or simplicity.
