Buckey,
I believe that I can help with your server if it is the operating sysyem(MSFT). There are boot disks that work great in this case. If it is a program specific password loss, not sure I'd be much help. I would suggest Norton Ghost for backups, believe it or not, you can bach up a 15 GIG HD to a blank CD....... we were able to take a ghosted immage of a system using Windows Server 2000 with data files and copied that exact system on several blank computers........ walllah! If it is a program specific problem and not a Microsoft problem, you can click Start,Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then System Restore. Your password should reset to the previous setting in this case and you should be able to log in...... remember that you will loose data from the restore day you pick to the current day. I have also been hacked in the past few weeks and it realy pisses me off, I'll be online and my firewall gets an alert and my system shuts down....... realy sucks when you are trying to place a trade. A friend of mine has a program that when a hacker is trying to get in through your computer port(s), it notes the IP address and floods their computer with a shitload of 1's and 0's right back through their port(s),bringing their system to a halt. If it is program specific, contact the vendor for the solution if you dont want to tinker around with system restores.

If its a MSFT issue, look at these links:
