4794: An attempt was made to set the Directory Services Restore Mode administrator password

This event is logged whenever you successfully set the DSRM administrator password such as with ntdsutil.
This password is important since it controls someone's ability to enter DSRM and potentially restore or other wise access the Active Directory database.
