Thanks in advance for your time. I have been unsuccessfully trying to backdoor back into my domain controller (Win Server 2008 R2), but maybe there's a utility or solution I haven't tried yet. Both mine and my backup admin's domain admin accounts are locked out (with no timeout, as this is a hardened/secured system). Some key details: Local admin is disabled, there is a third domain admin account that is also disabled, and I do have a standard domain user account on the system as well.
Perhaps there is a utility I can use to simply enable the disabled backup admin account and change its password, or one I can use to promote my user account to an admin account?
I was thinking one of those 2 options is an easier approach than trying to figure out to unlock my locked domain admin account? Just desperate for thoughts/opinions here, thanks for any info you can provide.
