Logon error

D

Debie

Logged off W2000 computer to logon as administrator. The
computer will not logon as administrator or any other
user set up on that computer (changing between the two
domain names does not help). For security purposes, the
computer boots to the ctrl+alt+del screen so the user can
log in name and password. Does anyone know how to bypass
the ctrl+alt+del screen on start up? Or have any other
useful tips?

The usual way to resolve this problem is to log in with
the alternative admin account, then reset the password
for the main admin account.

If you don't have an alternative admin account then you
can use this tool to reset the administrator's password:

You might now reflect on why you have several sets of
keys for your car, and only one admin account for your
PC.
