Can't Log On to Windows

[Guest Ushnell]

Windows 2000 is treating me as if I am a thief that is trying to break into

my own computer after I made a change to the Local Security Policy in the

Management console.

 

I don't know exactly what is causing the log on screen to say it can't log

me on to the system but I think it's the "log on as system" setting I

applied before restart that is causing this but why?

 

any help to this problem will be appreciated.

Log on as "Administrator", then reverse the change you made.

Thanks Dave but as you can see my problem is that I can't log on to Windows

at all. it seems that Windows is not recognizing my user account and password

especially that I set it to not require me to type it at log-on.

Try this boot disk to reset the admin's password to a blank:

Yes, that's what I got from it. Try the in-place upgrade.
