cannot log in

[Andy Welcomer]

I have a Windows 2000 server. Nothing has changed on it, however I cannot
log in. When I try to login I get the message. "The system can not log you
on due to the following error:
The network request is not supported. "

The machine is not a domain member. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks

Hi, I appreciate your response.

However, I tried looking at those articles, nothing helps me, as most of
them refer to installation of SPs and hot fix, or Domain Controller issues.
.. This machine has been static for a while, and never had a problem until
now. Also the machine is in a work group, it has no domain considerations.

I'm looking now into having to cold boot the machine, I have found no way to
gain access to it, as it doesn't even try to authenticate a user.

Any of suggestions, what am I missing?
