I have a stand alone Windows 2003 server, another technician was able to use
a downloaded tool to change the Administrator password. I want to be able
to secure this types of problem on this machine, any suggestion of what I
should do?

any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks in advance

Hello fiaola,

If people have physical access to the server you can't. Because even if you
can not read the old password, for changing a lot of tools are available.

Best regards
