  We are also going through the Iprism web filter, which requires a user to access a site like google.com etc... Download authenticated etc... before regular web browsing works etc...

  We have windows 7 32 bit & 64 mixed in the environment (no XP machines)

  Also by GP, we have 10 invalid login attempts will lock the user account AD... also require password change every 45 days

  We were (for about 2 or 3 months now) see a larger than normal amount of accounts getting locked for what seems to be no reason... We have Netwrix Acocunt Lock installed, examiner, who tells us what PC lock is happing to and what DC reports bad passwords etc... but doesn't tell us is not what is the cause... especially when the user is nothing else than a regular job and does not enter their password in anything... also when we seek newspapers etc... There is nothing substantial, no saved credentials, any mapped drives, scheduled tasks are defined with the GP only by local user...

  We are on our side on this...

  in our society, it seems we have about 8 people who are locked in almost daily (and most have only not mobile devices with email either)

  We even tried to install the alockout.dll Microsoft locking tools... which seems to report nothing (I've read that this does not work in windows 7?)

  Does anyone have knowledge of something, we can run on the machine that will alert us regarding when an invalid password is submitted as well as what service or program sends the info?

• getting locked after changing account password

  Hello
  
  Three developer systems are connected to the oracle server. All three have database access using test/test.
  I has provided a new username/password to access the database and changed the password for the test user.
  The test password is changed it is getting locked again and again as a large number of failed connect operations was there
  Approximately 13000 in 30 minutes.
  I think that an application is trying to access the database with the old username/password.
  I rebooted 2 3 total systems, but the problem persists.
  What should I do now?
  Restart the third system works here?
  
  Can not restart it for the next 12 hours due to some problems.
  
  Thanx

• Win7 log in problems: "the referenced account is currently locked and cannot be saved in.

  I've seen a few posts related to this error, but nothing of quite like what I feel... My service company COMPUTER is perplexed and they have tried a bunch of stuff at the end server without result, so want to recreate the image on my computer, I don't want to just cause it's a pain.

  I have 2 computers in my workplace. A desktop and a laptop both running Win7 that connect on the server in domain of companies. I use the same username and password for both, of course.
  The problem is with the laptop. Occasionally when I try to log in, I get a notification "the referenced account is currently locked and cannot be saved in" and I can not connect. However, if I unplug the network cable and try it, it works. If I plug the power cable back in and lock the computer, restart the whatever, I can connect properly. However, after a few hours or days, it does the same thing.
  So I'm not completely locked out of the system. It's really annoying to have to disconnect the network like that.
  It has not always done this... It allows to work very well, but it seems to have just started for no apparent reason. The main difference between laptops and desktop, is that the laptop has Symantec PGP Whole Disk Encryption, while the office is not.
  Any thoughts on what may happen and what can I do about it?

• The referenced account is currently locked and cannot be logged on to. How to unlock it?

  This is the error I get when I enter the correct password also. I have Windows VISTA and I have a set a local policy for the account lockout threshold. My friend wanted to break my password without knowing it. It is not a domain account. Mine is an independent home PC. There is a single account that is my account. I tried in safe mode (even with the command line too), but even then I get the login screen & tell me to enter the password. If I enter the password, it says "the referenced account is currently locked and cannot be saved in. There is no fingerprint reader in mine either. So how I now access my account & see my Office I couldn't since 4 days now! Suggestions, please WELCOME!

  Next time consider that to have a friend who does not really know what there mess in this connection with your computer isn't a good thing. Nor is defining an account lockout policy without knowing what you do or creating an additional administrative account so hot either.

  The faster and easier to solve this problem is to enable (disabled by default) built-in Administrator account and set a null (blank) password. Allowing this account will put an icon for it on the logon screen so that you can then you connect, make an emergency administrator account (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or other), change the passwords of other accounts, etc.. When you are finished, log on the built-in Administrator and in the "CompAdmin" account and disable the administrator built-in again if you want this additional security (recommended). Leave the account "CompAdmin" rise and future emergency situations given that the account for your daily work must be a Standard account. See the end of this post for general information on configuring user accounts in Vista.

  http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/

  Download CD (.iso) image and burn as an image, not as data. You will need a third party burning software. Then boot with the CD that you created and follow the directions.

  Once all of your changes, on the account of CompAdmin disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  General information of user accounts *.

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is an OS multi-user with system built-in accounts such as administrator, by default, all users and guest. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).
  ***

  Doing this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and if taking the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best course of action.

• I keep getting locked if mouse or keyboard not constant use.

  I'm losing my sanity here.

  Here's the skinny. Last August, I bought a laptop. It's a Dell Studio 15.4 inch notebook. The model number is S1536 - 144 p. He has the top window Vista. I'm the only user.

  About 2-3 weeks after the purchase of the laptop, a question arose. If I don't move the mouse or use the keyboard for 30 - 60 seconds, the system has cleared me and send me to the user with a login screen notes that my account has been locked. When I first posted help on a related forum of computing, the only solution, that I was asked was to make a system restore.

  This is only a temporary solution. The issue has returned, and adays the system restore only now seems to keep the issue in one or two days. Whenever I do a system restore, I have to reinstall several updates, ranging from the window updates, anti-virus updates, reinstall a MMORPG ANYWAY.

  I'm really sick of this. I tried this, but researching all my research resulted in people who lose their admin password or their screensavor their blocking. This isn't my case. I even deleted my password to see if this caused any solution. This is not the case.

  I've been recently through the Web page of Dell support with nothing promising value. I posted all over to try to get advice from friends or some other computer savy, so far, my only alternative is a complete reset of the system. I'm ready to do after saving everything of course, but would like to see if there are other solutions before doing so.

  Please help someone.

  "I even removed my password to see if this caused any solution."

  Do you have MS and SS and see what was going on in there with their settings?

  Posters have turned off the screen saver and that solved their problem.

• Can I disable the alert "the referenced account is currently locked...". »

  A client asked me to allow on their domain account lockout threshold.

  I made the appropriate changes in group policy and also set up a notification by e-mail under Task Scheduler that is triggered by event ID 4740 appearing in the security log. http://community.Spiceworks.com/scripts/show/1588-send-email-on-account-lock-out

  It was during the test I noted after the nth wrong password, I got a screen on alert "the referenced account is currently locked and cannot be logged on.

  I tested again with an invalid username and did not get the same message. This is potentially a problem because it means that an attacker can't see a difference between a valid user name and an invalid user name without having to know any correct password.

  Is it possible that I can disable this alert screen so that the attackers are not presented with a way to validate user names?

  I am already aware that locking accounts are more favourable for other reasons the customer is informed of the possibility of an attack denial of service which deliberately trigger these locks and took some measures to mitigate the effects.

  However, because an informed decision was filed with stick to the strategy of locking of account I want to be able to mitigate this undesirable if possible another consequence.

• The referenced account is currently locked and cannot be saved in

  Hello

  About three days ago, I am entered the wrong password into my computer and received the error message, "the referenced account is currently locked and cannot be saved to." I let the computer turned on for a long time see if this resets eventually, but I get the same error message. There are no other accounts on the computer and I do not currently have a password reset disk or the Windows 7 installation CD. I tried to access the system settings to turn off the need for a password to log on to the computer and change the date and time system, so the time lock should be reset, but it did not work.
  Any help would be appreciated, especially since if I had reset and reinstall, I would lose a lot of files and programs that I have purchased, which would be expensive to replace. Another friend of mine had a similar situation, but the blocking period was 30 minutes, so I'm not sure what the problem is here.
  Thanks for your help!

  Your running your PC mode at high risk:

  -No disc reset
  -Only one single admin account
  -No backup file
  -No installation media for your applications (and maybe no list of product keys)
  -No CD repair
  Each of these steps takes only a little effort to implement. Without all in place, you are likely to get hurt someday. You can probably fix your current problem as follows:
  -Ask a friend to burn a CD to repair for you.
  -Start the computer with this CD.
  -Use a system restore to set Windows in a week.
  -Revise the list above.

• Why my internet accounts automatically get disconnected after that my computer turns off by itself?

  I have a Compaq PC with processor Dual-Core AMD Athlon X 2 5000, and it runs Windows Vista Edition Home Premium... In my view, that is running Service Pack 2. I use the computer to check my e-mail, my YouTube and Facebook accounts (and possibly other accounts spread I connect to).

  I usually use Internet Explore to browse the web. Sometimes my computer turns off by itself due to overheating. But whenever when this happens, when I turn my computer back on and return to the use of the Internet, I've totally frustrated to find that all my accounts were automatically disconnected!

  Even when I check these boxes to keep me connected to these accounts when I turn on the computer again after a successful stop, my accounts still get disconnected!

  It only seems to happen when my computer turns off by itself without stopping... mainly due to overheating. When I turn on the computer again after a successful regular stop, my accounts are automatically saved on once again, due to activate me "Keep me connected" by checking these little boxes. But after a situation when the computer is off all the time (either by himself for a reason, either by me with strength to turn it off when my computer crashes), my accounts do not remain.

  How can I prevent my accounts automatically be disconnected so that whenever I start the computer, after it turns off by itself, my internet accounts turned on? There must be a patch for this embarrassing situation here on the internet.

  Perhaps because an improper shutdown / forced can inpact on different parameters.

  Your must not PC in all cases be having heat problems, you need to fix this (heat) before it turns into something terminal
