I am getting next error in the Event Log on Windows Server 2000 (SP4):

Source: SAM
ID: 12294
The SAM database was unable to lockout the account of user due
to a resource error, such as a hard disk write failure (the specific error
code is in the error data) . Accounts are locked after a certain number of
bad passwords are provided so please consider resetting the password of the
account mentioned above.
Data: 0000: c0 00 02 a5

I went to the following KB:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=306091

It says: "You must analyze the error data to receive the correct error
condition. DWord data hexadecimal 0xc00002a5 = decimal -1073741147:
STATUS_DS_BUSY, ntstatus.h)."

But I don't understand what is it?
