Any ideas on this one?

I'm helping admin an office setting, <10 employees. MS network (Server
2000 / XP Pro on clients).

On one of the client PC's, the Admin password will not work at all. We
figure it must be having some sort of problem logging onto the domain,
because the admin pass works fine on all the other machines, which are
logging on to the domain.

But yet if you try to log in as the end user, she CAN log onto the
domain just fine. We verified "Log on to:" is the correct domain. If
she can log in and has network connectivity, and her system properties
verify she is logged on to the domain, why wouldn't Administrator be
able to log in? It just keeps saying the password is incorrect.

Further, we can't log in as Admin even locally. So Administrator is
pretty much locked out of this machine.

The Admin pass works fine on all the other machines, both locally and
when logging on to the domain. Just this one machine is being screwy.

Any ideas what may be causing this? TIA

Verify domain connectivity. You can log on for LONG time even if the PC is
not contacting the domain controller.
