Simplest way that I know of is to boot off the installation DVD and use the reset password tool from the menu.

Yes. It's even the documented method for performing this task.

had not changed the password from what it had been and I am the only person
administering the machine. This is a scary mystery. So, I went into
WorkGroup manager, reset the password (to what it had always been) and then
I was able to successfully authenticate and install the security update.
However, when I restarted the machine after the security update
installation, it fails to authenticate. Any suggestions?

Then perhaps what you're seeing is that you're confusing domains in OD or your OD is broken or misconfigured.


Is this a standalone domain?
