As far as root access from a boot/rescue disk (again, this being in context to the original posted complaint) - within that strict context I am not aware of being able use a boot disk with W2k Server or Advanced Server to acquire root (admin) permissions - unless you do a full install. (I not talking about just being able to puruse the data on the disk I am talking about being able to serreptitiously act as the administrator -- by using a simple boot or rescue disk.) If you know how to do this I am certainly willing to listen.
Thought you might be interested in the following product. http://www.winternals.com/products/repairandrecovery/erdcommander2002.asp One of its key features is that it boots directly from CD and includes the Locksmith utility to reset lost Administrator passwords.
