unable to log in because of account restrictrion

[Pete Stolz]

Hi, I'm trying to log in to a computer using RD and I get to the log in
dialog box, but no matter what username I put in I get another box that pops
up saying "Unable to log you on because of an account restriction." Any
suggestions? Thanks! Pete

Are you using an account with a password? A password is required...
