      I don’t know the Active Directory services restore mode password. How do I change the directory services restore mode password?

      To change the Directory Services restore mode password:

      1. Log onto the domain controller you want to change the password on
      2. Click Start -> Run
      3. Type ntdsutil and hit enter
      4. Type set dsrm password
      5. Type reset password on server null
      6. Type the new Directory Services restore mode password
      7. Type q to quit the DSRM command
      8. Type q to quit the ntdsutil command

      When I type the new Directory Services restore mode password, nothing comes up. Is that normal?

      Yes, the characters won’t appear when you type the new password. Just type the password and hit enter.
