Re: XP lockout problem
 

Yeah, I am a little confused as well. You said > My local admin account
is locked and for some reason i cant even get into the domain account
either. The utility, when booted, should allow you to unlock/change the
local password for any machine; including on joined to a domain.

Re: XP lockout problem
 

The local administrator account is locked. The PC is joined to the domain
/active directory. I can not login to the domain account either for some
reason (the message doesn't say i'm locked out though). It says it can't
find the domain controller.

blah

When using that tool you directed me towards, it locks up halfway through
and just stops. I can't get the admin account unlocked.

Re: XP lockout problem
 

Does it lock up in the same place? If so, where? Also, per your issue
not being able to log on to the domain; have you checked the physical
layer? Meaning does your computer have physical access to the domain
controller? Have you checked out the NIC? The wiring? LED lights?

Re: XP lockout problem
 

Are you running Windows 2000 SP2 or higher on your DC? There was an
issue with pre-Windows 2000 SP2 server getting "bogged" down with
time-sensitive UDP LDAP requests. Client computers for the most part use
UDP LDAP pings to locate a DC. If your DC is under heavy load, the UDP
LDAP requests expire causing your issue. Service Pack 2 fixed this issue
with Windows 2000 Servers.

It is a long shot, but thought I would toss that out there.

Re: XP lockout problem
 

nope it's 2000 Server SP4

The message when you try to logon to the domain (using any domain account i
try) is

Windows cannot connect to the domain either because the domain controller is
down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not
found. Please try again later. If this message continues to appear contact
your System Administrator for assistance.

I am going to try a couple more things but I'm about to give up and just
hook the hard drive up as a slave to recover the data on it then start the
clean install.
