My Institute have WINNT Server and WINNT Users as well. During a training session a user log into a PC with administrator login ID and set permission "Not Accessible" to WINNT directory (System directory).. Now whenever I tried login there is a blank screen. How to resolve this matter..

Do you have another account with administrative priveleges?
If so, login under that account and change the permission back again.
Good luck!

Thanks but Some one has denied access using administrator account itself there in no way. Ultimately I remove HDD, make it slave and add to another PC and permit access to all..

The WINNT folder's shared rights have been removed for sure. Login with administrator intoi the server & make another user (say USer ID:sysadmin & Password: sysadmin) & grant him full admin rights & ad him to your Admin group and logout
Now loginagain with user: sysadmin & use the windows browser share WINNT having admin rights as well. Make sure you click "folders" tab. If using NTFS, check the "Security" as well for administrator rights as well.
Please do let me know if it worked.

Thanks but this can not work as there is no way to access the directory, so changing user is not possibel. I have to move the HDD to another PC making it slave and permission granted there ..
