Hello,
Could the other admin not reset the administrator ( NMC ) password   you 
describe ?
You could possibly connect with  the backup server from externally 
installed NMC and reset the administrator password
If everything fails, you could either re-install NMC or do password reset 
via ( try this method first)
environmental  variable GST_RESET_PW--Check the Help on Password reset on 
NMC documentation, it's all listed there.

[Networker] Networker Management Console Admin Password reset






Someone in our group has somehow reset the NMC Administrator password
back to the default on one of our Networker 7.4.2 servers. We're running
NW 7.4.2 on Windows 2003 server. The only way I know of to change the
password is thru the NMC while logged into NMC as Administrator.

I need to figure out who so I can keep them from doing it again.
Everyone on our team has their own accts in the NMC that grant them the
rights they need (but not necessarily the rights they think they should
have). 

How does one force the password back to the default? There are only two
of us that have the Administrator password but our entire team has admin
rights on the server itself. Their rights in the NMC are somewhat
restricted. If I can figure out how this person's doing this then I can
catch them and put my boot down on the back of their neck.

Thanks, 
        Kent
