how can i recover or change user password with samba tool

[Zahari Zahariev]

Hi Hesam,

There is something called "samba-tool" and you may find lots of useful 
tools bundled together to manipulate Samba4 server. In the particular 
case of Administrator password you can try from the 
"samba-master/source4/" directory or from anywhere using the binary from 
the install path (default /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool):

$ ./bin/samba-tool setpassword administrator

I assume you have to be physically on the same machine that Samba4 is 
running on. Using LDAP connection won't work because for "setpassword" 
you do not have server connection needed. On the other hand you have 
"changepassword" that needs server connection.

Cheers!
