Re: Single Account Being locked out frequently

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Last time I had this what fixed it is CP -> User Accounts -> Advanced ->
Manage Passwords. Delete all the saved passwords.

But I don't ever remember seeing that exact error message. Any help at

We have a SBS 2003 Premium with about 40 users on it. After we moved to a
new
building everything went okay except that one user frequently can't logon
and
ends up logged out. Of course, it's my boss :-)

We tried resetting the password, no luck. This is the error I see in the
event log but I'm not sure how to interpret the error code at the end.
Anyone
ever run into this? P.S. I also checked this on several workstations and
it's
the same for that account everywhere.
