no password login will work

[Guest henryspl]

Here is one I have not seen explained. I can create a new user account

and assign a password then when I log out and attempt to log into the

new account with the password, it says the password is wrong. I can

however use that account name if it is an admin to edit things that

require admin privelages from another user account using the password I

originally assigned. I know the password of the original admin and it

also works when doing things requiring admin privelages but I can't

login to that one either. The only login that works is one not requiring

a password. My machine is setup to automatically login to a user account

w/o password right now.

Help?

See if you can activate the account to see if you trouble shoot.

You can also burn a copy of Ultimate boot CD, boot off of it, use the

utility to reset psw for existing accounts. You should get the Vista

version.

Is this account on a workgroup or Domain? Are your TCP/IP values correct for

the network? If it is a Domain, then check your logs for logon errors, check

FSMO roles. Check DNS, make sure the device is properly registered and ADUC

to make sure the node is recognized on the domain.

The PC is a member of a workgroup but why would that mess up user login?

I am working directly on the machine here.
