    I see alot of Failure events for "every account" i have in my user list.

    Change Password Attempt:
             Target Account Name: Administrator
             Target Domain: Mymachine
             Target Account ID: Mymachine\Administrator
             Caller User Name: Administrator
             Caller Domain: Mymachine
             Caller Logon ID: (0x0,0x8934)
             Privileges: -

    Is this a hack attempt?
    If it is.. What are they accessing for them to be attemping this pass word change?
    If its remote hack, how would the IUSER_Account have access to attempt this password change?
    Im the only pc on my lan. Ive just locked down my box. After enabling auditing, I see those come up.
    How can they try to change my passwords remotley, if it is indeed a hack attempt??

    Running Win2000Server 5.00.2195 SP4
    Can tell me where I can read about these Events ID's for security, account management etc.., and what they mean in long term descriptions. Instead of short meaning just say event id 627 = password attempt. Thats too brief for me.

    Thanks in Advance
