“System could not log you on, make sure user name and domain name
are…” error at autologon

initialy the problem appeared after a TweakUI autologon option activation

ms error ref at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300433/EN-US/
did no help, changing the regs did not produce results.

the problem was overcome by deleting the initial user and creating a new account. by no means an elegant solution unless your’e really really fond of the defaut xp settings, and take painstaking care to transfer as much of the user-specific setting of your account as possible

I ran into a problem with this procedure. On restarting, I was prompted to log on as “administrator”, but when I tried I was unable due to an account restriction. I thought I was in real TROUBLE, but discovered that I could log on to my User account. Or I could logon safe mode. I then reversed the procedure and when I restarted, my computer came on with the automatic logon that I was originally trying to setup.

Open regedit
Localmachine/Microsoft/windowsNT/currentversion/winlogon

Change autoadminlogon to 1
Add ‘DefaultPassword’ and your value
Chech the defaultvalues of DomainName and UserName

Restart the Machine.
This should work.

Watch out when you break the routine of autologon, values may dissapear.

Succes

P.S.

What a clutz. I seem to have started my own little forum here… posting to myself!

Anyway, it’s all working fine now and thanks for the instructions.

Where I went wrong was when the User/Password dialog box came up I left the user=Administrator. I should have changed it to the actual user name.

Maybe this will help someone else… or maybe someone should just delete all these posts. Either way.

Thanks again.. it’s working great.

P.S.

Sorry for all these posts… which I could just edit the first.

Anyway, I played till I found how to get in. I replace the User name: Administrator with the actual user name; leave the Password blank; click ok and I’m in. Just much more work than before I started this. Haha.

I thought I’d go through the instructions again but in step 11 a dialog box for the user name doesn’t pop up as it did the first time through. I thought I’d try changing that. How do I get it back?

Thanks, Peter

P.S.

Also when I try to log on leaving the password blank I get the message:

Unable to log you on because of an account restriction.

I think I followed the instructions perfectly, but as another user posted I can not log on. Oh boy… it’s my friend’s new PC and now he can’t use it. Big help I am!

I get a Logon Message: The system could not log you on. Make sure your User name and domain are correct, they type your password again.

In the background is Log On To Windows screen with User name:

Administrator

and Password: …..

Anything I try fails.

I see another post about recover discs but it’s way beyond me. Guess this one’s going to cost me!

Thanks for any ideas!!

Thanks for the recipe to bypass the logon screen. It works!
