Guest

After my computer infest with the virus I had to reinstall my Windows XP Pro
and I have to redo my Remote Desktop in order to connect to it. But when at
the login screen I input my user account name which happen to be an Admin
account but I got an reply message about some account restriction. So how do
I solve this issue?

Does the account have a password? That is a requirement.

Is the account an Administrator or a member of the Remote Desktop Users

Well when I reinstall the Windows XP Professional edition and setup my
account I used the same account name as previously account name and aslo
during the setup where it asking for a password I leave that field blank and
after you told me about the password I went to the Administrative Tools and
Computer Management console to the Local Users and Group and reset my
password and this time I still leave it blank and after that when I trys to
connect to my Remote Desktop it still has the error message "Unable to logon
due to an account restriction." As the account type is Administrators.

You are really "Something" LOL.

Change password from blank to "password" and try again.
