administrator not recognized

Sounds like you setup a user "admin" and forgot to put "admin" into the local administrator group. Or if you are logging into the domain you forgot to put your domain user into the local administrator group.

Just log back in as "administrator" and put "admin" or that domain user into the local admin group.

Of course if you already did that then I didn't really understand the question.

Good luck.

This being the case you may have to use the ERD,to recreate the SAM data base from the disk.This will allow you to reset the Administrator profile.To verify administrator,Click the Start button,point to Programs,and then Administrative Tools,Click the User Manager icon.

Try logging into the wordstation only as admin to make the changes, don't log into the Novell server. Unless your workstation admin logon is the same as your Novell logon.
You should install your service pack after all system installation have been made.

Try logging in as administrator with no password. it is poss. that as stated prev. you created a user "admin" and are logging in to that account.

if it turns out that you don't know the administrator pw, see
