password-recovery

Hi all,

Ok - I confess!! I changed the admin password and misspelled it when entering it in our pw bank.

Is there a way to retrieve it?

We are using Windows Server Console.

System Rescue CD has a utility call ntpass - though it seems it can only reset the password not recover it.
