Account lockout Windows frequently

• Frequent account lockouts

  I have a user who gets frequent account lockouts. Daily lockout occur.

  its really frustrating.

  the only thing I checked is, active rdp sessions.

  If not, how can I check which tool sends the incorrect password.

  I used altools, but it does not give me information that I already saw in the event logs.

  Help, please!

  I guess that the lockout is due to connection failures...  You should be able to use standard Windows management tools to trace it.    You will need to market "Audit logon events" for the system log record these events can be displayed in newspaper the Security window.  Then, you can use Event Viewer to examine the papers.  To activate "Audit logon events", follow the procedure described in the article except instead of click "audit access to the", click on "Audit logon events" instead.

  How can I permamnetly delete the user account in Windows xp?

  1. 1

     Go to the control panel. There are several ways to do this, but the most common is to go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Control Panel" on the right side. Follow whatever it is more convenient for you.

     
  2. 2

     Click on "user accounts" in the window that appears. Or, you see the standard view (with lines of icons) or the display of the categories (which is explicit). Both have a shortcut to the user accounts Control Panel.

     
  3. 3

     If a control panel is not yet made, click the 'user accounts' Panel at the bottom of the window. If so, you can skip this step.

     
  4. 4

     Click the link you want to get rid of any user account.

     
  5. 5

     The next window will have a list of actions you can do for the user account, one of which will be "remove account". It is the action that you'll want to click on.

     
  6. 6

     The last window that you will see will ask you if you want to keep the soon-to-be-used user represents the files in a folder on your desktop. It's your choice here.

     
     • If you have already backed up all important data on this user account, you can safely click on 'delete files '.
     • If you do not, you must click "keep files".

• Help! All files on disk of data lost after deleting a user account in Windows Vista

  Hello

  I delete a user account on Windows Vista. After the deleted account, I can't access any files stored on my data disc (not c :), how can I access these data again?

  The data are very important to me. Help, please

  ARO

  Alex Ho

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  I appreciate that you try to recover the data after the deletion of the user account in Windows Vista.

  Since you've already deleted the user account, you would not be able to recover the data.

  However, you can use any third party to the data recovery software.

  NOTE: using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Here are the details:

  I have Windows Mail installed on my PC and you want to add an e-mail account.  The issue started when I was trying to send a document I had picked up on a website and received an error message there was a problem with POP3.  Then, I tried to set up an e-mail account and after that following instructions was puzzled because I didn't know the name of the exchange server.  I am running Windows Vista on a Compaq Presario.

  I first contacted my internet framework, which is Charter Communications and they referred me to Microsoft, which, in turn, was told to contact Charter Communications, call the Compaq or come to this site.  At this point, I'm a little frustrated.

  Hello

  If you are tring to add an e-mail account in Windows Mail, you get the settings from your ISP (Charter Communications), then follow the information from Microsoft on how to implement.

  You need the Charter:

  1. your username with them

  2. your password with them.

  3. incoming for them mail server.

  4. the outgoing e-mail server for them.
