Account restriction

[Guest Martmcd]

Hi,

I am locked out of all acounts, whenever I try to log in it comes back with

"unable to log you on due to an account restriction"

 

this happens with all logons including Administrator and whether I attempt

to log in normally or safe mode.

 

HP media center pc running windows xp media center

 

I have tried safe mode, last known good configuration, reset/cleared

passwords.

I need some other ideas.

 

Thanks for the help

Martin

Re: Account restriction

 

How did you reset/clear the passwords. Did you use a boot disk like this

http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/. Other than trying this to reset the

password on the administrator account you would need to carry out a repair

install I think.

Hi Neil,

thanks for the response. I had used pnordahl to reset the password,

unfortunately it made no difference, i was afraid you might suggest a repair

install, i will have to get a media kit for media center and try that.

thanks for your help.
