[QUOTE="immdb, post: 54712, member: 1238"] If you can't get to the Admin account and you need to reinstall… during the reinstall select "Archive and Install," then select Preserve Users and Network Settings to save your existing files, users, and network settings. I would think that the new Admin would be able to get to all of the data. [/QUOTE]
