>>Hello, (don't laugh to hard)
>> We have a customer that allows there kid(i guess to play?) access to there Server(NT) with the admin password. He decided to change all the passwords, but doesn't remember what he picked as new passwords. Is the only solution to reinstall? Any ideas on how to get back in the system?

Actually, there may still be a sort of back door as well. If they haven't changed/deleted some of the default users (such as the print server, backup manager), those also have Admin access and were (still are) used by some people as a back door into the system.
