RDC problem

I've tried to use RDC to another PC and it gives me an error message that
"Unable to log you on because of an account restriction."

I've gone into the user profile in that PC and it has Administrator rights
as well as ensuring the PC is setup to allow RDC (right click on my
computer, properties, remote, checked the allow remote connections and added
the users that are allowed).

Why is this happening and how to I get access to that PC through RDC?

Both PC, the one initiating the RDC and the one I'm trying to connect to are
XP Prof. with SP2.

Does the account you're using have a password? For security
reasons Remote Desktop requires an account that has a password

Take a look here for more info:

Good luck

Thank you for the reply. The password "issue" was the problem. I added a
password and that took care of the problem I had of not being able to login
through RDC.

Thanks!
