Board index » Windows OS » Password Problem with Server Login

Quote

I know this is a newsgroup for Windows Server 2003 but I am hoping

someone has previous experience with SBS2000 (Windows 2000 Server),

plus I cannot find a "high activity" newsgroup for SBS2000. We are

using SBS2000 and it is a Domain Controller. We periodically reboot

our server (once a month) and had to recently for a problem related to

Internet access that turned out to be unrelated to the server -it was

a router issue. We tried to login with the Administrator account like

we usually do and the password would not work. We verified the

keyboard was working correctly, tried to do it remotely, and the

password would not work. We tried 2 other user accounts that are part

of the Domain Administrators group and neither would work. We also

tried an account we setup in case this happened, and it did not work.



We think there is a problem with our password being accepted for any

user. What can we do or try to resolve this.



1. Should we be able to login to the server with another user account

that is a member of the Domain Admins?



2. If not, then somehow the password for the Administrator is corrupt

or wrong. What can we do in either case? Thanks
