Feature Request - Admin Account reset

Post by HussainMahfood »

Show the "account username" that has been reset by Tools in the Veeam Recovery Media. Some rename administrators to other account name

Hello,

The name for local admin is displayed in the end of the notification dialogue. If you need to adjust any of the user account parameters – you can reset admin password, login and then change whatever you like.

You are welcome! By the way, if you have two or more windows operating systems on the hard drive – you will be prompted which OS admin account needs to be reset.

Good day All,
Thank you for pointing out the user account mentioned at the end of message (after the password reset tool option is selected). I was working on a machine that was inherited to me and did not know that the local administrator account was renamed. So after resetting the password I was wondering why the reset tool did not work. I knew it was working because I was one of the first guys (if not the first guy) to tweet the good news. So of course I had to use the account name the administrator account was changed to. And obviously it did work by using the correct account.

Thanks to Veeam for providing the free product and the free tools that come with it. Making my life easy!
Thank you!
