After one or two minutes, it will launch the PCUnlocker program. You can reset both Windows local account password and domain password easily. Simply select the Windows SAM registry hive from the list, the program will display a list of Windows local user accounts.

In the resulting dialog box either enter the name of the remote computer or click on Browse and then Advanced Once a connection has been established to the remote server the Computer Management interface will refresh and the Computer Management link in the tree will also display the name of the selected remote server.
Once Computer Management is configured to administer a remote server, the next step is to begin the folder sharing process. Begin by unfolding the System Tools , then Shared Folders branches of the tree in the left panel.
Select Shares to obtain a list of current shares configured on the remote system. The creation of a new shared folder on the remote server although as previously mentioned this can also be used on local computers involves the use of something called the Create A Shared Folder Wizard , which, as the name suggests provides a user friendly way of configuring shared folders.
To invoke this wizard, simply right click on New Share In the resulting Folder Path screen, either type in the path of the folder to be shared, or browse the file systems to locate it. With the required folder path selected click on Next to configure the name and description settings. On this screen, specify the share name by which the folder will be accessed from remote computers together with an optional description of the shared folder.
Next, configure the off-line file settings for the folder contents by clicking on Change. Once these settings are configured, click on Next once again to configure the share permissions for the selected folder. Either select one of the pre-configured options or select Customize permissions and click on Custom to configure share permissions on a per user basis. Finally, click on finish to complete the sharing process.

By default, shared folders are listed when users browse for shared resources. From time to time, however, it may be necessary to share a folder but have it hidden such that only users who know of its existence can access it by referencing the share name.
This concept is known as hidden share access. The most important point to note about hidden shares is that it does nothing to prevent access other than hiding the fact that the share exists. If, for example, a user learns of the existence of a hidden share perhaps because another user tells them about it , and the share permissions are such that they have access to the folder, the fact that it is hidden will do nothing to keep the user out of that folder.
As outlined at the beginning of this chapter, Windows Server provides two levels of permissions for shared files and folders, namely share permissions and file and folder permissions. Share permissions are applied when access is made via the network. When shared files and folders are accessed locally from the server on which they reside these permissions serve no purpose.

But each manager has some confidential documents on the share on file server which are not supposed to expose to these assistants.
