Re: Can not login to windows.

Can't you logon to the local Administrator account? Why are the kids allowed on the computer with Administrative privileges? See here: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

I am having a tricky problem with Windows 2000 server login process. After pressing the power button, the computer loads Windows normaly. It stops at the Ctrl, Alt, Del login screen and has the two following errors. "The Application log is full" and "the System log is full" I'm not sure if either of these errors is related to the real issue. At the login promt, I type in the Administrator username/password, and the computer continues to load saying, "Loading your personal settings" About the time the background loads, Windows begins to logout, and displays the message "Saving your settings", then returning to the Ctrl, Alt, Del login screen.

The last thing to happen to the computer before this issue was installing these Automatic Windows updates:

Here are the steps I have taken to correct the issue. First I tried logging in as a different user, and also from a terminal server. No luck, same thing happens. Then I went through ALL of the safe mode options, including "Last Known Good Configuation". Same thing happens everytime. After this I tried using the Emergency Repair Process on the Windows CD. Still no luck. In case the problem was in the Windows registry, I backed up the current registry and replaced them with the 5 hive files found in the C:\windows\repair folder. No luck, so I restored the current registry. There are two ways to access files on the computer. One is to go through the recovery console, and the other is over the network share.
