Administrator cannot unlock 'locked' Workstation

I'm an admin, and we have recently improved our systems to 32-bit Vista Enterprise.  Since the upgrade so I go to the user's desktop and try to unlock the system, I get the following message:

"this computer is locked. only the connected user can unlock the computer.

Note that it says ONLY THE SIGNED ON USER and not "or ONE ADMINISTRATOR" I tried with my domain administrator account, and the account local system administrators and I get the same error.  I searched around and have not found an answer to this problem.  Is it a configurable option of GPO? or, where this is configured?

and no shutting down/restarting/etc is NOT an answer.

Thank you... Any help is appreciated...

I guess that it something to do with Active Directory, search for configration AD of this PC, and you can try to remove all the passwords and ownership of this PC using Active Directory. You can also try to redeploy what mean to update again and see if it is resolved.

    Impossible to unblock a program, the master genealogist, get the message 'cannot modify the window registry. Sign in to Windows as a system administrator to unlock the software". I am the administrator.

    The program tries to modify an entry in the registry and something he keeps.  The registry is huge, and unless you know exactly what entry does not cooperate, your best approach would be to restore the registry to a point to where he was working.  You can do this by performing a "system restore."

  • Group administrator cannot open Control Panel, Manager of tasks or access networked readers

    Hello

    I have a little trouble getting one of our computers in the domain to cooperate.  We've added a bunch of user profiles of domain on this computer, all under the administrator group, but nobody except the local administrator can access network drives, open Control Panel and open the Task Manager.  Even our domain administrator cannot do the previously listed.  We have 3 other computers that use all the same members, and they are all very well, so I don't think that the question lies in group policy.  It's almost as if the local administrator group settings have been changed somehow?  I went into the local group policy and all settings seem correct.  I'm puzzled little at this stage.  This could be the cause of this problem?  What is a corrupt local administrator account?  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

  • JavaScript to unlock/lock fields locked when signing

    Hello

    I have a case where I want to allow a document preparer set a route by checking the boxes next to the signature fields.  I'll use my index finger to review my pairings box/signature to find the next person to send the form for determining what radio buttons are archived and remain unsigned.  My problem is that after I applied the first signature and apply the change of my access "in the fields"; the fields are not hidden in the saved or the PDF (attached to e-mail) subject of my document.  They, however, seem to be hidden when the Send button is initially hit.  I tried using the 'Lock signature after signature' feature, then by changing the access to "open" (reverse) to the next signatory.  This keeps others locked fields, but I can't unlock locked on the signature fields.  I wonder if anyone has a way to dynamically choose which fields will be block (or unblock) on a signature being applied.  Please let me know if you need more specific information about me.  Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

  • ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 6

    I work for a school district and recently ran into problems with writing data in a database by using ASP.

    Background:
    We are currently running Oracle Database 11 g Release 11.1.0.6.0 - 64 bit Production With the Real Application Clusters on Linux systems option.

    We have a workable tablespace/database using our system of management of the school called "Genesis." There is no problem reading, writing or deletion of records through this site web-based application.

    Problem:
    I wrote a few ASP pages that read from the 'background' database tablespace that works reliable. The problem is that I created a new tablespace/user/database with two tables that I write for.

    If I run a test trying to add new records via my ASP page Let's say 5 times, it cannot work more than 3 of those times.

    The error I get is as follows:

    Error Automation Oracle '800a01b8 '.

    Data retrieval error, ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 6 - see the file trace DBWR ORA-01110: data file 6: ' / u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/dbs/ORCL_GENESIS'

    / Parent_Portal/Confirmation.asp, line 40

    Looking at the knowledge base (Article NOTE: 268061.1) mentions that there are maybe not ebough available file descriptors. We increase the amount, the same results.

    Also, if it's important, it's the code that I use to write to the database:

    Set OraSession = CreateObject ("OracleInProcServer.XOraSession")
    Set OraDatabase = OraSession.OpenDatabase ("ORCL" _
    (' Username/password name', cint (0))

    Set OraDynaset = OraDatabase.CreateDynaset ("SELECT * FROM PARENT_PORTAL.") (The STUDENTS", cint (0))

    OraDynaset.AddNew
    OraDynaset.Fields ("Email"). Value = strEmail
    OraDynaSet.Fields ("STUDENTID"). Value = strStudentID
    OraDynaset.Update

    Set OraDynaset = OraDatabase.CreateDynaset ("SELECT * FROM PARENT_PORTAL.") (Accounts", cint (0))

    OraDynaset.AddNew
    OraDynaset.Fields ("Email"). Value = strEmail
    OraDynaset.Fields ("LASTNAME"). Value = strPLName
    OraDynaset.Fields ("FIRSTNAME"). Value = strPFName
    OraDynaSet.Fields ("PHONE"). Value = strPhone
    OraDynaset.Update

    Set OraSession = Nothing


    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

  • Windows 7 - GPO using a duration to lock workstations

    We have recently implemented a policy of locking of workstations that does well with some of our users. At this time the setting is locked after 2 hours of inactivity. We had complaints that it is too short (which we're not changing) or it is too long. Finally we will shorten, but at the same time we told users who think that it is too long to hit windows + L or CTRL + ALT + DELETE to lock their screens. Some people think that even if this is too difficult.

    My question is, is it possible to configure it so that it hangs at 2 hours, but if users want to make shorter now, they have this ability, is that possible? We have more than 200 machines so we want to make it as universal as possible, but we cannot choose some complain to put in an another ORGANIZATIONAL unit with a different strategy.

  • I'm stuck on my laptop Windows 8 and cannot unlock my Microsoft account. How can I return to my laptop?

    My mother had a new laptop from Windows 8 for Christmas. Woohoo! She already has a Windows Phone, so she has a Microsoft account.

    When she first signed in her computer, she didn't use his account of Microsoft, so she used a different email address. We had him go back and link their account to a Microsoft Account, but she could not remember the password to MY (her phone does not require it to remember). So, while she has access to his account of MY through his phone (email, skydrive, Messenger, etc.), she can't connect to it via the web or their new computer. To further complicate the things, all this switching autour led to forget the password, she chose when she first signed in the (local account on the) laptop.

    So, now it is totally locked out of his computer. We tried to reset her password to MY, but unfortunately the security only option we have is to send it to an e-mail address that is not fully illustrated and must be incorrect, because we never received the email to reset. Ugh.

    Yes, Yes, we should have remembered the password. Yes, we should add more security options (such as the telephone number of its Windows Phone). This isn't the issue, the question is: how the hell we have access to his laptop again?

    A question is: How do we get access to mastery again? We tried three or four times to give all the information they ask for (last addresses sent e-mail to the last e-mail subject lines, etc.) without success (despite the fact that it can send and receive emails from its Windows Phone). We do not have a credit card or other billing associated with his account information and it did not create folders to email him (and apparently, can't make his phone).

    It gets really frustrating - there should be a way to talk to a human being or something that can reason better than Microsoft account unlocker automated tool.

    Last updated on 26/12/12:

    It is interesting that my mother would have access to his account (e-mail, skydrive, e-mail) via his phone but, since she don't remember not his password to his laptop or the live.com site. It is also interesting that even if she has a phone that is obviously linked to his account, it cannot receive a text (or messenger note or same email) with a link to security number/password or password reset via his phone.

    If anyone with the ability to listen, my mother could really use a link reset password secure e-mail to its live.com account, so that it can reset his password on his phone!

    Otherwise, I think it's just going to return the laptop Windows 8. They do not have give it an OS reinstall the drive, which is the only other thing I can think to recover his system...

    PS: It would also be nice if Microsoft would publish an email address on their account or email recovery page such that when the process fails, there is another available for persons other than simply to try new way (which is, as some claim, the definition of insanity).

    Thank you!

    Thanks for any help you can provide.
