Eric,
there are a number of cases where you may want to know the password:
1) this was my case: I wanted to restore my files on another machine. I
did this by specifying the nodename of the original machine
2) beware, but there are cases when you need to reinstall NT
Best regards
Gerhard

> In any case, you (ADSM Admin) can always reset the password if
