Because I've not logged in to my Windows Server VM in a really long time, I've completely forgotten my administrator password. I found a method provided by Squall36 that I was sure would work [ http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserversecurity/thread/c4a22367-a89a-47f8-8046-8ede12b2a21a/
]; the only problem is sethc.exe is missing from C:\Windows\System32 and I can't find itanywhere else on the drive. I need to regain access to my account to get to some files I'm looking for that might be on this virtual machine, and, of course, have no desire of re-installing the OS. I made one of
the biggest blunders of not setting up back up, AND I haven't set a password recovery disk forthis machine. I want proven Win Server password recovery methods only. Please help.
