This link will help you determine what the error code means. In this case it means
misspelled or bad password. What policies did you change and at what level - local,
domain, domain controller?? Did you import a security template? The one setting that
can cause a lot of problems if you are using non W2K computers such as W98, NT4, or
even XP. Is the security option "additional restrictions for anonymous connections" -
do not set it to no access without explicit anonymous permissions. If you made
changes to the Local Security Policy of a domain controller, see second link on how
to reset settings to default, but I would first append the /areas user_rights
securitypolicy to the secedit command in the KB article. If you made changes at
domain or domain controller level, then examine the settings in the Local Security
Policy of the domain controller, and change any defined settings on the domain
controller policy to match the local setting [not effective], or do the same for a
domain machine if you changed domain security policy. --- Steve
