Error ! User Profile Service service failed the logon.

I've seen several people with this issue, including myself, and have yet to
see any answer other than to delete the account and start over. This is not
a good solution for any user. What causes this issue? How can it be
prevented? How can it be fixed? Some type of acknowledgement would be
appreciated as it does seem to be be kind of a 'major' issue. Thank you for
your time.

I have quiet a few annoying problems with Vista. Has Microsoft come up with a
quick solution for this "User Profile Service service failed to logon"?

I too have had this problem i first set up our computer with an Admin account
and three separate user accounts one for me and two for my parents i
encountered this problem with my account and so set up a second account and
tried to transfer the files from my old account to the new one unsuccessfully
when i decided to try again i found the problem had now spread to the Admin
account.

Help! I keep getting the same message "The user profile service failed to
logon". I bought my Dell computer with Vista already installed on it. I don't
know a lot about computers so any help would be greatly appreciated!

You're a moron. Read his post again.

Are you going to hop all over that silly board you're on and post this
to every person having a problem??

I tried using the restore point but it prompts me to my user name and asks
for a password to continue. I never added a password to my account and it
won't allow me to proceed. Any suggestions?
