Windows Server 2016 сброс пароля Администратора в SSD RAID. Не подгружаются драйвера SSD. Не видно дисков

Здравствуйте.
Столкнулся с проблемой сброса пароля локального администратора windows server 2016.
А проблема заключается в том, что наш удаленный администратор не активировал windows server 2016 и соответственно восстановить пароль локального администратора через web портал Microsoft не представляется возможным. А сам админ утверждает что пароль который он устанавливал, совершенно точен и по другому быть не может. А если не подходит, то его кто-то поменял. Мне же кажется, что этот человек просто набивает себе цену и здесь же предлагает поддержку 4 компьютеров и этого сервера, где только 1С за невменяемые деньги. Задаю вопрос, а что собственно вы хотите поддерживать, если до вас люди все настроили и работало!? Говорит, как хотите, я просто предлогаю, а вы либо соглашаетесь, либо нет. Периодически нас поддерживал человек, которого вызывали по требованию, с оплатой по часам. И нас все устаивало и прекрасно работало долгие годы.
Но решили обновить все тачки и завести нормальный, настоящий сервер). Оплатили 100к человеку за работу. А через некоторое время, примерно 3 месяца, столкнулись вот с такой проблемой.
Все железо новое:
1. Материнская плата ASUS P10S-M, Socket1151, iC232, 4DDR4, PCI-Ex16, 6SATA3, 4USB 3.0, VGA, mATX, Retail
2. Процессор Intel Xeon E3-1220v6, 3GHz, 8Mb, TDP-72W, LGA1151, tray
3. Память DDR4 DIMM 8Gb PC19200 2400MHz Kingston ECC (KVR24E17S8/8) x 2
4. Твердотельный накопитель (SSD) Samsung 256Gb 860 PRO, 2.5″, SATA3, черный (MZ-76P256BW) x2, стоят RAID’ом на них windows server 2016
5. Жесткий диск Western Digital 1Tb Gold, 3.5″, 7200rpm, 128Mb, SATA3 (WD1005FBYZ)

Выход из ситуации выбран следующий:

С помощью установочного носителя.

Загрузка диагностики в режиме восстановления Windows
Загружаемся с установочного диска или флешки Windows.

В окне выбора языка нажимаем Далее.

В следующем окне нажимаем Восстановление системы.

Далее выбираем опцию Диагностика.

Переименование Utilman.exe
Теперь нажимаем Командная строка.

В открывшейся командной строке переходим на системный диск (это, как правило, C или D, но могут быть E, G, H):

Заходим в системную папку system32:

Переименовываем утилиту Utilman (она нам еще понадобиться):

ren Utilman.exe _Utilman.exe

Копируем cmd вместо Utilman:

copy cmd.exe Utilman.exe

Крестиком закрываем командную строку и нажимаем Продолжить. Система перезагрузится.

Сброс пароля
Когда сервер загрузится и потребует ввода логина и пароля, нажимаем комбинацию клавиш Win + U. Откроется командная строка.

Меняем пароль администратора следующей командой:

net user Администратор 12345678

Теперь можно зайти на сервер под пользователем Администратор и паролем 12345678.

* если используется Windows на английском языке, учетная запись администратора будет Administrator.
* если используется Windows Server и применяется политика сложных паролей система не примет пароль 12345678. Нужно придумать что-то понадежнее.

Все бы ничего, но данным способом это сделать не удается.
Причина:
не подгружаются драйвера для ssd которые стоят raid’ом и на которых установлена windows. Т.е. в окне выбора восстановления определенной ОС ничего нет.
DISKPART=>LIST VOLUME и DISKPART=>LIST DISK, показывает что не томов, не дисков нет.

Ясно дело, что проблема в том, что драйвера не подгружаются и соответственно не удается совершить манипуляции с файлами.

Звонил в сапорт samsung, просил дать ссылочку на драйвера для их ssd диска. Говорят, нет ни каких дистрибутивов драйверов, вшиты они в windows. А спрашиваю, ну как же так, а для чего по вашему функция подгруздки драйверов в режиме восстановления windows предусмотрена? Также сказали, что это не по их части и попросили вежливо отвалить.

Прошу предлагать любые варианты. Оперативность в решении данного вопроса, вот что мне сейчас нужно.
Нуждаюсь в вашей поддержке, в решении данного вопроса. Благодарю.

Step 2: Open up it and insert a blank USB drive or CD/DVD into the computer. And then click the «USB device» or «CD/DVD» button (depending on what media you choose) on the main interface to create a Windows server 2016 password reset disk. This will take about one minute.

Step 3: Take out the disc and plug into your locked Windows Server 2016 computer. Now power on the machine and set it to boot from the disk (Why do this? Because a computer boots from the drive that has Windows installation by default).

After you set the 1st Boot order to the password disc in BIOS, save the settings and restart the computer.
