    I am running server 2016 and when I rebooted it, I can't log back on because it says the password is not correct. I know it is the correct password, but something has happened.

    Is there anyway I can reset the password so I don't have to reinstall the OS? It says that you can reset the password if you have a password disk. I don't have that.

    Thanks for your help
