active-directorywindowswindows-server-2003

Hi there i'm trying to reset windows server 2003 forgotten password.
Tried system rescue cd bootable linux 

ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows –o force
chntpw -l SAM (this command dont show AD users, just local)
chntpw –u Administrator SAM

but this reset local Administrator password

Is there a way to reset Active Directory users passwords ??

Best Answer

The 'typical' answer is to log on with another admin user and reset the password via active directory users and computers. Is there a reason you can't do this?

I haven't tested it but if you've locked out all your domain administrator accounts then you might give this a look.
