Hello,
then use the physical machine to logon, does it work?
Did you try the builtin Administrator to logon?
Which EXACT error message do you get?Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hello,
use a local admin account to logon directly on the computer.
If the problem is with an AD user then possible that you have AD replication problems.

Hi,
Please try to use the Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM) Administrator account to perform a restore.
If the password for DSRM Administrator account is also missing, please use the following commands to reset it:
ntdsutil
set dsrm password
reset password on server null
For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft KB article:
How To Reset the Directory Services Restore Mode Administrator Account Password in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322672
After that, you may perform a restore back to the point before encountering the password issue.
