Re: can not log in

Hello MC,

You have to open it via Start, run and type regedit, then press enter. Because you can not logon ofcourse on a second machine in the same workgroup.

I forgot to ask by what method do I open the regedit and is this on a
network computer or the affected computer?

Hello MC,

Try out this one (from another posting):

Open Regedit>File>Connect network registry>Connect to the affected
host Connect to your locked-down system as the local Administrator by
connecting to its root drive, which I assume is C. Type

net use \\win2kpro\c$ password /user:win2kpro\administrator
at the command line, where win2kpro is the name of your computer, and
password is the password of the local Administrator account. This
connection should work because now you're performing a network logon,
and
your accidental setting denies only local logons. Now that you're
logged
on remotely as the Local Administrator, open the MMC Computer
Management
snap-in, right-click Computer Management (Local), then select Connect
to
another computer. Enter your computer name, and click OK. In the
Computer
Management snap-in, open the \system tools\local users and
groups\groups\users container and delete Authenticated Users and
INTERACTIVE as members. Both of these members effectively add the
local
Administrator account to the Users group (i.e., Authenticated Users
and
INTERACTIVE implicitly include Administrator). Click Apply, then
Close.
Now, you should be able to log on locally. When you do, open the
Local Security Policy snap-in and remove the Users group from the
Deny logon locally policy.

I changed the local security policy on windows 2000 and the next
day
when
I went to log in as the Administrator I got this message saying
"the
local
security policy of this computer does not allow you to log in
interactivly." I have tried logging in under safe mode and the
guest
account but the guest account was disabled and the safe mode
didn't
work
either. Now I can't log in to my computer at all. Is there a way
to
get in
and change the settings back or somehow force the computer to log
into an
account?
Thanks,
JM
Do you remember the exact change you performed?

I went to the control panel, then to administrative tools, then to
the
local
security policy. I went to the local policies, and then to the user
rights
assignment. I went to the setting for Deny Logon Locally and added
Administrators to that list. Then I hit ok and closed the window.
The
next
day when I went to logon as administrator I got that message.
Thanks,
JM
