Guest sqlny1a@gmail.com Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Help! All of a sudden I can no longer login to my Admin account. I get an error message to the effect that account have been locked out due to 3 unsuccessful attempts. Several hours later I try again and I was able to get in except that I got another message to the effect that the security log is full. I emptied the security log and created another admin account. I'm still finding a problem logging in with both of them. Any idea as to how can this happen and also how do I resolve it. Thank you very much Mike
Guest AJR Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Re: Locked Out! Despite Having The Right Password Regarding "... I emptied the security log and created another admin account...." - the Administrator account is "built-in" - cannot be deleted or created - however you can create a User account ith Administrator privileges. Back to the issue - what were the details of entries in the security log? Problems would have been detailed in the log. <sqlny1a@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1190649073.362907.27900@w3g2000hsg.googlegroups.com... > Help! > All of a sudden I can no longer login to my Admin account. > > I get an error message to the effect that account have been locked out > due to 3 unsuccessful attempts. > > Several hours later I try again and I was able to get in except that I > got another message to the effect that the security log is full.
