| 420443 | 2006-01-12 05:54:00 | I'm having a problem when loggin into windows, i'll put in my password and it'll tell me its incorrect even thoguh it isn't, the only way to login is go away for a few hours and come back and login again and it'll work, it's happened to me a few times in the last week. | rileys (9551) | ||

| 420448 | 2006-01-12 07:47:00 | When you do manage to get in, run your virus scanner and see if it picks up any nasties, also post a hijack this log. Change your password aswell. | Prescott (11) | ||
| 420449 | 2006-01-12 07:54:00 | I would do that except it's not connected to the internet at the moment but once it is again i'll get a scanner and do that, by the way whats the hijack log? | rileys (9551) | ||
| 420450 | 2006-01-12 08:12:00 | Hijackthis is a program that can show whats running on bootup / startup, and other things . Its used sometimes to check for probs people are having, with things like spyware /worm/trojan entries on your system . The site for it is here ( . spywareinfo . com/~merijn/" target="_blank">www . spywareinfo . com) and the main hijackthis exe file is here ( . merijn . org/files/hijackthis . zip" target="_blank">www . merijn . org) You unzip this zip file, into its own folder, then run it then click on do a system scan and save a logfile . The log comes up in notepad . This is what u copy and paste in here . |

| 420452 | 2006-01-12 20:42:00 | I assume this is a home PC, so the following usually isn't applicable, but just in case... An account lockout group policy can have several settings: * Account lockout threshold (how many times you enter a bad password before the account's locked.) * Account lockout duration (how many minutes it locked.) * Reset account lockout after x minutes (how long till it's unlocked.) Again this would be unusual on a home PC, but not on a work PC. If you want to see your local group policy, Start... Run... Gpedit.msc. The domain admin setting can take precedence, if he wants. |
