Hi. Ive actually got a problem in cmd while im trying to repair my computer. (Windows Server 2012 r2)
What im trying to do is to reset my password in Admin, since i can't log in on it.
What i did is, i insert the bootable usb , then "repair" and go to "CMD", it brings me to X"\Windows\System32 , now, most of the time, the OS is in D: drive now or even in C: right?
I do a Diskpart, list volume but only C: drive appear, and the contents of that drive is the content of bootable drive that ive insert.
No other volume listed.
I want to ask what could be the cause of this problem?? Is it because my computer is already in RAid 2??
Please Help.

The reason the free stuff might not be working is …
Jump to Post@J, so www.lostpassword.com tools fail as well? That's terrible. It looks like the usual pull the drives and send them to drivesavers.com is next since Linux and lostpassword.com has failed. This is one rare server setup when Linux, password tools and removing drives fail.

You ask why you can still boot on it and use it? The answer is it's not totally wiped out.
I can only guess at the real problem since I'm not there. The only time I see all the usual fail (lostpassword tools, Linux and what I mentioned so …
