📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a server with multiple user accounts visible at login, where the current user is unable to access it due to missing passwords. The original poster is concerned whether resetting one user's password will impact data, applications, or other users, especially since a critical program runs constantly on the server. A responder asks whether the server is standalone or part of an Active Directory, noting that resetting a user's password typically only affects that user and should not disrupt other functions or programs.

We have a server that shows multiple users at the login screen. An employee who just left didn't pass along any of the passwords needed to log in and we're stuck.

If we reset the password for one of the users shown, will it affect data/apps/etc for any of the others?

There's a needed program on that particular server that runs all the time and I don't want a password reset for one of the users to change anything.

Any help is much appreciated...

Is this a stand-alone server or part of an active directory environment? Resetting a user password only impacts that user and also a program on a system in most cases should be available for anyone on that system.
