SAM Problem

[Michael Shingledecker]

More problems, after I changed the Administrator password
this is showing up in System Event Viewer:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: SAM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 12294
Date: 12/11/2003
Time: 12:03:31 AM
User: YMCA\Administrator
Computer: BODY
Description:
The SAM database was unable to lockout the account of ຩ
due to a resource error, such as a hard disk write failure
(the specific error code is in the error data) . Accounts
are locked after a certain number of bad passwords are
provided so please consider resetting the password of the
account mentioned above.

The Administrator account cannot be locked out. What
probably has happened is that you have a process or
scheduled task somewhere that still has the old password.

Look at KB article 824209 to see how to use the
EventcombNT utility to find the source bad password
attempts.

Tony,
Thank you for the suggestion.
I ran the EventCombMT and it just told me what the System
Event Viewer told me, nothing else.
Any other ideas?
