If you have remote access to the box via regedit, and psexec, you might be able to execute this option:

Subject: [ActiveDir] Server, DSRM password known 500 account can't be logged into

DC, can't log into the 500 account and there are no other administrator
accounts. (yeah it's a SBS box, what else, with a consultant coming in
behind another consultant).

They have used various password (Petri, Sysinternals) sites to reveal
the recovery mode password, but neither this is working nor the ability
to log into DSRM to log to change the main password.

Server is functioning fine otherwise for all other users. Everyone else
can browse and log in as users.

Is there ever a time that a profile or something in AD is so horked that
it won't allow the 500 account to be logged into either locally or remotely?
