Replacing the LAN Manager NET.ACC File

MORE INFORMATION

Sometimes during initial setup stages of a LAN Manager server, the Administrator changes the ADMIN password and then forgets it. If there is no other user name with Administrator privileges, the NET.ACC must be replaced; this returns the client to the state wherein the Administrator account password is set to PASSWORD and no other user names exist.

Diskette needed: LAN Man OS/2 Server

WARNING ***** This removes any user names and ******** WARNING
              file permissions already entered
              into the LAN Man accounts file.
				

1. Stop all services on the server with these commands:

   NET STOP SERVER
   NET STOP WORKSTATION

2. Connect to the C:\LANMAN\ACCOUNTS directory.
3. Rename NET.ACC to NET.OLD
4. Decompress the file NET.AC$ off of the OS/2 diskette into the C:\LANMAN\ACCOUNTS directory:

      DECOMP A:\ACCOUNTS\NET.AC$ C:\LANMAN\ACCOUNTS\NET.ACC

(The DECOMP.EXE program should exist already under the C:\LANMAN\NETPROG directory. For help on DECOMP type in DECOMP ? at the C:\> prompt.)

1. Start the Server services again and logon as ADMIN using the default password: PASSWORD

   NET START WORKSTATION
   NET START SERVER
   NET LOGON ADMIN
