Re: username/password don't work in Safe Mode

You are trying to log in locally ("This Computer") instead of into your
domain user account. Most domain workstations don't have any local users
except for the built-in Administrator and possibly one for IT. I usually
make a local "tech " account when I'm setting up workstations for a domain.

So your domain user account doesn't exist as a local account which is
why you can't log in.....

Thanks for the reply Malke.

However I believe my account is local, because I can unplug the LAN
cable, start the machine and logon with my user/pass combination
without any problem.
In fact this is what I usually do, because the machine starts faster
this way (no 'applying security policies' etc., and many useless
applications do not start). Only after the machine fully starts, I
plug the LAN cable in.
So it should be a local account - it could be at the same time a
domain account, not sure as this is the first time I deal with
domains.
My problem is only that my user/pass which work OK when I start XP in
normal mode (with or without LAN cable) do not work when I start it in
Safe mode (with or without LAN cable).
Is it possible safe mode to be disabled for a local admin account?
If yes, it should be possible to fix this as I'm admin, just don't
know where to look.

Thanks.
