failure to log on

[Guest Nurmi]

On booting I am informed on the screen:

"The system could not log on. User name and domain name are correct. Then

Type your password again!"

 

I have complied. Failure to sign on.

I have changed my password. Nil effect.

I have deleted my password and name. Left is the administrator log on. Nil

effect.

It's a nuisance no more, cause by clicking on the message, the next screen

shows administrator box and clicking on it boots-up the PC.

I would like to solve the problem though. Thanks!

The message is probably created by an automatic logon process that you

established some time ago. Some time later you changed your password but did

not align the password for the automatic process. You must now adjust the

automatic process so that it uses the correct account name and password.

Here is a description of one of the usual automated logon processes:

Hi Pegasus, I followed your instr. The box for "User must enter....." was

already clear. The List of Users for this computer shows 1. Administrator 2.

ASPNET (my guess is its for guests,) and 3. Richard.

1 and 2 are listed under Administrator.

In User Account (control panel) only Richard and Guest are shown.

Follwoing the instr. I clicked on the box, typed a password, retyped

password, deleted 1 above, cleared the box and clicked to close the

Automatically Log On window. After restarting the PC the result was no "auto

log on" the system could still not log on.

I then retraced your recommended steps, and found that the 1. User Name

which I had delelted, is still No 1 in the greyed out area of Users for this

compunter.

Re: failure to log on

 

The link I gave you is only one of several methods to perform an automatic

logon. Another method is TweakUI, a third is a direct registry hack. I have

no way of knowing which method you used.

Re: failure to log on

 

I used the "control userpasswords2" without quotes" Thinking I made a

mistake, I repeated the excercise and had some success. However one of the

two msgs remained.

It read: If you have forgotten your password and wish to use your password

reset disk to set a new password for your account, press "Reset..." I did

with nil result. I would appreciate to try the other methods you mentioned.

Can you give me the URLs? Thanks
