Hello,

To resolve this behavior, perform the following steps:

1. Connect to the problem Windows 2000-based computer's C$ share from
   another network computer using the administrator account.

2. Open the %Systemroot%\Security\Database folder.

3. Rename the Secedit.sdb file.

4.

 a. If the computer has Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional installed, a
Secedit.sdb file has to be copied from an operational Windows 2000
Professional-based computer.

 b. If the computer has Microsoft Windows 2000 Server installed, a
Secedit.sdb file has to be copied from an operational Windows 2000
Server-based computer.NOTE: Another Secedit.sdb file from a similar Windows
2000-based, Windows 2000 Professional-based, or Windows 2000 Server-based
computer, is required. This file can be copied from another computer which
has a similar version.

5. Copy the new Secedit.sdb file to the %Systemroot%\Security\Database.

6. Restart the computer. You should now be able to log on locally.

If this does not work or you do not have a copy of secedit.sdb to copy, here
is an article that talks about ntrights that should assist you with this
problem:
