Система помоги сбросить пароль на Server 2012 R2
Задача: Разобрать шаги по сбросу пароля на Windows Server 2012 R2
Итак, у меня есть установленный образ Windows Server 2012 R2 Std под Virtualbox моей основной системы ноутбука Lenovo E555 Ubuntu Trusty Desktop (рабочее окружение Gnome Classic).
Запускаю пакет управления виртуальными машинами:
Приложения — Системные утилиты — Oracle VM Virtualbox, нахожу контейнер с именем WS2012R2_#1, запускаю его и открываю свойства данной виртуальной машины чтобы смонтировать с развернутой системой установочный диск с которого сейчас нужно будет произвести запуск:
Устройства — Оптические диски — Выбрать образ диска и указываю путь до местонахождения в системе установочного образа, в моем случае: Server2012R2_EN_DV9.ISO
Затем отправляю виртуальную машину в перезагрузку
VM: WS2012R2_#1 — Машина — Перезапустить (или сочетание клавиш: Ctrl + R если окно консоли виртуальной машины открыто), в момент когда на экране появится надпись «Press any key to book from CD or DVD» нужно нажать клавишу Enter, после чего соглашаемся (нажимаем кнопку Next) с выставленными настройками установщика, такими как:
- Language to install: English (United States)
- Time and currency format: English (United States)
- Keyboard or input method: US
На следующем шаге нужно не нажимать «Install Now», а нажать «Repair your computer», см. скриншот ниже для наглядного понимания:
После входа в расширенное меню следует перейти нажав на иконку с изображением отвертки и гаечного ключа (Troubleshoot), а потом на иконку с изображением консоли командной строки (Command Prompt) и передо мной предстает запущенная консоль, как можно заменить с правами Администратора ожидающая ввода команд:
Здесь нужно ввести следующие команды аналогичные тем которые вводились в заметке по сбросу пароля на системную учетную запись в Windows Server 2008 R2, но можно и не сбрасывать пароль, а создать логин и пароль и дать административные привилегии:
X:\Sources>copy d:\Windows\System32\Utilman.exe d:\Windows\System32\Utilman.exe.backup
X:\Sources>copy d:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe d:\Windows\System32\Utilman.exe
Overwrite d:\Windows\System32\Utilman.exe? (Yes/No/All): y
Затем отключаю смонтированный инсталляционный образ Windows от контейнера с виртуальной системой:
Устройства — Оптические диски — Изъять диск из привода
Выключаю VM, закрыв открытое окно консоли командной строки и нажав на иконку «Turn off your PC»
Включаю VM, когда экран встанет на этапе нажатия сочетания клавиш: Ctrl + Alt + Del нужно нажать вот сюда (см. скриншот ниже), если не проделывалась процедура подмены исполняемого файла Utilman.exe, то ранее здесь бы запустилась утилита «Центра специальных возможностей», но т. к. я ее подменил, то запуститься консоль командной строки с правами СИСТЕМЫ, а это много больше чем административные права:
Когда такая консоль, системная консоль запущена в этот момент с системой можно делать все что угодно, создавать административного пользователя:
C:\Windows\system32\net user ekzorchik 712mbddr@ /add
C:\Windows\system32\net localgroup Administrators ekzorchik /add
Сбросил пароль на дефолтную административную учетную запись с логином Administrator:
C:\Windows\system32\net user Administrator 712mbddr@
По такому же принципу, но с использованием консольных команд можно делать с системой все что необходимо.
После того, как нужно еще раз загрузиться с установочного диск и произвести возврат utilman.exe на свое законное место, т. к. если попытаться проделать эту процедуру авторизовавшись в системе под административной учетной записью сделать этого не получиться. В доступе на такое посягательство исполняемых файлов администратору системы будет отказано от системы.
C:\Windows\system32\copy Utilman.exe.backup Utilman.exe
Overwrite Utilman.exe? (Yes/No/All): y
К чему я писал данную заметку, просто у меня несколько дней назад была история. На домен контроллере поехало время, остановилась репликация, не работала авторизация ни под какой учетной записью на домен контроллере под управлением Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, а вот с помощью шагов выше я попал в систему через восстановление контроллера домена и восстановил контроль на инфраструктурой. На этом у меня все, с уважением автор блога Олло Александр aka ekzorchik.

3 Ways to Reset Windows Server 2012 R2 Administrator Password
Are you worried about what would ensue upon forgetting your Windows Server 2012 administrator password? Yes of course, to worry on being locked out of your own computer system is a serious matter of concern which cannot be taken for granted. Many a times, in order to make it safer than the usual, you prefer to procure a very complicated password combination so that no one can decipher the pattern easily. But in due course of time, you forget it and fail to enter the same while starting the system. Formatting the hard disk can prove to be a fatal attempt as all the data your system possesses are most likely to be erased. So it is really a very bad idea. But there are many other tricks and trades that can be implemented to bypass the password protection if password forgotten.
If your computer is linked with a domain then simply sign in to it with a user profile which is associated with the Domain Admin group. You should be able to modify the password of your local administrator account password. But unfortunately, if it is not on a domain or if your domain account has no authority to change the password of your local administrator password then you can only use a password recovery tool like in the Part 3 to accomplish this task.
Method 1: Reset Windows Server 2012 Password With Setup Disk
This particular part is specially for Domain administrator users who lost their password. You will be required to have the Windows Server 2012 disc with you to make this part work.

Step 6. Now, copy the following command line and press enter to change your computer password.
«net user administrator thenewpassword»
Kindly replace «thenewpassword» with any characters of your choice which you desire to make your PC password.
