What is DSRM

Directory Service Restore Mode (DSRM) is a special boot mode of your Operating System, aimed mainly for recovering damaged Active Directory. Often is DSRM used to recover domain accounts or domain administrator passwords. For example when it is impossible to log on to the computer.
In this way, DSRM is something similar to Safe Mode. Just like in Safe Mode, to get into it one needs to press the F8 key repeatedly. The main trick is to do it immediately after BIOS POST screen, but before the Windows logo appears.
