Hi,

I have problem with one user (win xp sp2). When user A logs into
windows and then locks his computer he cannot unlock his computer, he
gets message "The password is incorrect....." (passwordd is correct)
and when i logs as an administrator i log off current user and then
he
can log on again ???
User is also has local administrator privileges, anyone knows why
this
happen?


thanks


This happens because while the user thinks the password is
correct, it is in fact wrong. Do this to confirm it:
1. Change the password to AAA.
2. Lock the computer.
3. Unlock the computer, using AAA as a password.
