How can I delete Administrator logon restrictions?
I have a lap-top with windows XP SP3. I have two accounts : Administrator and BoBo. Both of them have administrator privileges. I always log on in BoBo, but, when I try to log on Administrator , the computer says something about the log on hours restrictions and I can not log on. I can log on in Safe Mode only. What can I do?1 person needs an answerI do too

Hi LyOdD, - What’s the exact error message that you get?- Are you connected to any server machine or in a domain environment?- Were you able to login successfully without any issues into the Administrator account earlier?Specify the exact message to assist you better.As you are able to login to the Administrator account in Safe Mode without any issues, try setting a password for the Administrator account and boot normally and check if you can boot into the administrator account without any issues thereafter in the normal mode.Additionally you may try performing Clean Boot to check if any application is causing this issue.Putting your system in clean boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. If yes, you may have to contact the program manufacturer for any updates or uninstall and re-install the program. Here’s the article you may refer to for steps with reference to the same.How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" stateNote: After troubleshooting, make sure to put the computer to start as usual as mentioned here:To configure Windows to use a Normal startup stateAfter you used the clean boot to resolve your problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally. a.

Logon hours can be set or changed with the "net user" command. From an account with administrative privilege, bring up a command window (Start->Run->"cmd") then enter the command: net user administrator /times:allFor more info on the "net user" command, see: < http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/net_user.mspx >HTH, JW
