How to: Reset Administrator Password with TCA

Recommended Posts

I thought I would share this because I just spent 13 hours trying to fix a problem that was actually solved after I gave up and went to basics.

 

I originally was using this idea to run a

netdom remove /d:domain.invision-gaming.co.uk SERVER /uo:Administrator /po:password

command to fix a orphaned member but after I gave up someone gave me the idea to just change the Administrator password.

I had forgotten the local auth password and always used the domain account to log in. When that server died I lost any way to log in.

 

Creating a game that ran my the reset works perfectly.

All you need to do is make sure that there is a .rar on your /GameInstalls folder called SRCDSFPS

I used this because it was the smallest folder I had, and you need to have an existing game to actually install although the contents are irrelevant.

 

All the config does is creates the config resetpass.bat on the server and executes it.

The server then runs the resetpass.bat file which in turn executes the command:

net user Administrator #PasswordReset.

 

I don't expect anyone to have to use this, but this really saved me big :)
