Re: Can I have two passwords for one user?

Windows 2003 Service Pack 2 Enterprise edition is installed on my home PC.

I too have this, but I think it's funny that you say it's on your home
PC... server os as a personal pc.. I know, just being funny I am...

I have granted a friend of mine to access my computer via remote desktop.

Today he had started flashget to download a file and just after that his
internet connection failed, so the remote desktop session was disconnected
(many hours passed since then and he is still offline PING!). A few minutes
after
he was disconnected, flashget found some more download mirrors and
established about 50 TCP sessions rendering my internet connection very
unstable for any new session attempt.

When his session is disconnected I cannot use remote control on it and my
only option would be to logon to it. But when my friend is offline on the
other side of the world and cannot unlock his session, my only option would
be either to reset his password or to force logoff. I prefer not to do this.

You have to set the option to reset connection after disconnect on the
server, otherwise it just sits there...

Q:
Is it possible to create two passwords for his account (one for him and one
for me, which I can use to unlock his session if any problem happens again)?

2 accounts, each with their own password. Like Roger said, 1 password
per account.

#1- connects then gets disconnected...
#2 is used to reset it....

What you are overlooking, what if they both get disconnected?? SOL
then....

Have it set where the connection is reset after disconnection... and
you'll be happy...
