I am running Windows 2000 server build 2195 free on a Dell Poweredge 2300
server. I was prompted to run an auto update which appeared to go
successfully except when Windows restarted it prompted me for my login
password as usual and seemed to take it. But after about 5 seconds the
Windows password screen pops up again. Its like the computer is stuck in a
loop. It takes the password but then the password screen reappears and it
won't let me get beyond that. Can someone help me to solve this problem?
Why can't I login?

This article may help.
