Local Security Policy Lockout

[Melissa Mitchell]

My administrator account no longer has access to the the
Local Security Policys. Running a Win2k machine with FTP
and and Local Intranet. I receive the event ID error 1202
I believe someone has hacked in and gained access but I
can seem to figuire this one out.

Hi Melissa-

What happens exactly when the administrator tries to open up the Local Security Policy? Do you get an error message? The 1202 error message usually
indicates that a user that no longer exists is defined in a policy somewhere. This should not prevent you from managing your local security policy. Is there
anything else that leads you to believe you may have been hacked?

Thanks-
