I am the local MIS for our group and then we have a company wide MIS. We have had 2 people leave and I need to get into the machines they were using. However I can not get in to the local machine administrator login to make any changes. Any suggestions ??

Boot to Dos Prompt. at the prompt type
C:\>net user Administrator newpassword then hit enter.
C: being your root directory

I hope it works. Give feedback either way

Additionally, further on from BFilmFan's suggestion, if you are on a domain and you are an administrator you should be able to reset their passwords
