Locked Out! Despite Having The Right Password

[sqlny1a]

Help!
All of a sudden I can no longer login to my Admin account.

I get an error message to the effect that account have been locked out
due to 3 unsuccessful attempts.

Several hours later I try again and I was able to get in except that I
got another message to the effect that the security log is full. I
emptied the security log and created another admin account.

I'm still finding a problem logging in with both of them.

Any idea as to how can this happen and also how do I resolve it.

Thank you very much

Mike

Regarding "... I emptied the security log and created another admin
account...." - the Administrator account is "built-in" - cannot be deleted
or created - however you can create a User account ith Administrator
privileges.

Back to the issue - what were the details of entries in the security log?
Problems would have been detailed in the log.

- Change the properties of the security log so that old events
are overwritten as needed.
- Find out why you get so many events logged.
