Locked Out! Despite Having The Right Password!

[newsgroups.comcast.net]

Help!

All of a sudden I can no longer login to my Admin account.

I get an error message to the effect that account have been locked out
due to 3 unsuccessful attempts.

Several hours later I try again and I was able to get in except that I
got another message to the effect that the security log is full. I
emptied the security log and created another admin account.

I'm still finding a problem logging in with both of them.

Any idea as to how can this happen and also how do I resolve it.

Thank you very much

Mike

Is your Admin account a separe account from the System Administrator in
Safe Mode. You should not use System Administrator for day to day
accessing your computer.

Try creating a new User Profile.

Have a look here about multiposting and about creating
several threads on the same subject in the same newsgroup.
It leads to duplication of effort and it wastes people's time.
