I lost my administrator rights on Windows 2000

[stepha]

Hi,

I would like to know if someone could help me with this problem I have with Windows 2000.

When I try to log on, they ask me a username and a password.

If I enter one of my user names and passwords, I can access a user account.

BUT : When I enter the Administrator's username and password, it does not work. It gives me this message :
"La stratégie locale de ce système ne vous permet pas d'ouvrir une session de manière interactive".

I can no longer open Windows with my Administrator rights!!
This probably occured when I changed my administrator properties, I must of clicked on something wrong.

Please, if someone can help me,
thank's alot

I don't know what is the translation of that line (is that spanish or Italian)... eitherway... get a copy of Hiren's Boot CD from the net [wink;wink] and change any password you want on your computer.

Hi,
I have the same problem. A version can be "the local strategy does not allow you to open an interactive session".
It means you have checked an option in the local strategy (or domain strategy) to allow some users, and not some others.
If you can't open any session on the computer, try the without driver mode (i don't know the english name, in fact), which grant your access to the mmc console.

I'll try it tomorrow, perhaps i will ask you if it works.

Oh, sorry, i do not see the date... near one years ago.

I also lost my administrator rights on one machine, and
the device manager is blank on the other one. Both run
Windows 2000.

To open the management console, go to the command
prompt and type

mmc /a

You can try it, although it hasn't helped me.

BTW, does anyone know how to fix the blank Device Manager?

I have solved my problem using mmc console and domain policy in an other computer on the network.

It probably means the mother board drivers are bad. That's the way i solved that problem on windows 95.

If you wish to recover lost password, Password Changer tool can be used. It is small size yet extremely powerful. It saved me before, so really recommended utility it is.

Thank you, but that is not the problem. It was a right problem. A domain strategy can allow or disallow the machine access.
