Gaining root to NT?
Thought this would be the best place to direct this question ...
Simply put , i work in an office with multiple computers that run NT/2000 ,
When we changed over network admins about a month ago we were left
with (surprise , surprise ) one computer in the network with locked out admin
privileges .... so basically what im looking for is a way to audit or recover admin pass's
hashes from a NT system that you have full physical assess to.
Any help would be much appreciated ...

do a search on google for a program that will allow you to read from an NTFS partition from DOS. Boot to DOS, and grab yourself a copy of the SAM file. Then, simply use L0phtcrack against the SAM file and it is just a matter of time before it will crack the password hash for ya

Damn cwk9, you beat me to it. I wanted to complain that there was no root account on NT.
If you check Microsofts web site, they tell you how to do this. I don't remember the exact steps, because it has been a while since this was necessary, but you are supposed to use the install cd. You can repair an installation, and just set up a new administrator account and password.

Create Win98 boot floppy, boot with this, then rename
c:\winnt\system32\config\SAM and c:\winnt\system32\config\SAM.log
boot the system up, administrator password is now *blank*
Have a day! (You choose what kind...)

just re-install windows. I don't know if it work with only an upgrade but with a complete installation you will solve certainly your problem
You also can use a program to crack the admin password (download section: password crackers or programs specially designs for your windows version), but it's low...

There is a linux disc that will do it cause it has a version of NTFSDOS and it allows you to reset your Admin password that way....I haven't tried it just have it incase of a time I do need it. :-)

I just saw this thread and thought I would put my two sense in, Well I got the SAM file from booting to DOS and copying it, Then I cracked it with l0phtCrack and tried the password that it gave me for Admin, And it didnt work. What could have been the problem?
