I am using Win2k on my workstation, the system promoted me to change my password, I did. After my weekend I tried to log on my system but I failed.
My question is how to go over this problem.

Thanks,

If you are on a network, you are going to have to face the dreaded "Administrators Wrath." Naw, just kidding, have your administrator to edit your user account. If you are running this at home, log on suing administrator, start the maintanience program, and change your user account password.

If not on a network and working with the administrator login (so you cannot login at all): There is a way to change that password by booting from a special bootdisk and then writing a new password to the registry on the disk. Just a have look for the homepage of Petter Nordahl-Hagen.

You or your admin should be able to logon to the local machine using the administrator login and password. Then you should be able to delete the user account, re-add it and re-add the computer to the domain.
