Did you try the recovery password that you did set when installing the domain controller? ;) Most people overlook that - but yes, tehre is ONE emergency account and you have set the password.

Way to view the members of an Active Directory group if you aren’t a domain admin and can’t log into to a domain controller

Absolutely. From a computer that's a member of the domain, open a command-prompt and run a:

NET GROUP "group name" /DOMAIN

Unless your administrators have changed the stock permissions on the group object you will be able to view the membership that way.

You can use AD Users and Computers even if you're not an administrator, but this, at least, can be done w/o installing anything.
