RS FactoryTalk reinstall, lost admin pw

[tomalbright]

Login says the computer name is not found in the directory.

I can't find where the admin account and password are kept. Uninstalling and reinstalling, it skips to the admin login, doesn't prompt me to make a new one.

Anybody had experience with this?

(I'm holding off paying for RS support as long as I can... thanks!)

I know how to fix this.

Oh, wait, sorry, saw your last line.

I'll wait.

 

[tomalbright]

No, please...

Don't hold back!

Rockwell will tell you to reinstall windows, its there fix for everything. J/kIf did not change the user name and password. The default is
Administrator -- with the password blank

I tried that, no luck.

It seems to be either the computer name or domain is different than when I installed it, but I can't see how it could have been changed. It's a completely new windows install.

As far as that goes, I *could* do a reinstall at this point, it would probably be quicker.
