A user has tried to input herpassword which she had forgotten and
is now locked out How do we unlock her?

There are many ways to get to this - this is one way...

Start button --> RUN

control userpasswords2

OK.

Advanced tab.
Advanced button in the middle of the window.
Click on the Users folder.
Locate the user on the right side and left-click on them and choose
properties.
Uncheck the appropriate limitations and OK your way out.

Thanks Shenan input the information as you suggested and nothing happened!
Just realised I've posted this in XP but the machine she is using is W2000
does that change anything?
Sorry
Tony

Sheenan I've just discovered where the Advanced tab is on the Administrator
screen and found where to uncheck the right box. Thanks for pointing me in
the right direction though.

Either wait 15 minutes (the default length of time an account remains
locked), or use the built-in Administrator account to unlock the computer.
