    Ok, I am in Directory Services Restore Mode on one of my Windows Server 2003
    DCs on which I want to change the name and password of the account which is
    used to logon to the DC in Directory Services Restore Mode. I opened ADUC,
    and an error message told me to use Local Users and Groups instead. But I
    can't find that! It's not under the Control Panel. When I go into Computer
    Management, I do not see the node to manage Local Users and Groups! It is
    not listed under Administrative Tools either!!! Shouldn't this be easy?

    You can change it using NTDSUTIL command, if I'm right this is only
    supported in Windows Server 2003.

    Thanks! It worked. Too bad one can't rename the original DSRM Administrator
    account though on top of resetting it's password.
