while sleeping, the computer is locked and cannot be opened by the administrator

Help. I have an old computer second, forwarded by a friend that I have more contact with. This computer is used daily by another friend who doesn't have a computer.

every night the computer go to sleep and the next day when he woke up that my bud Gets a message that it is locked and only the admin can open it.

I changed it to the administrator, but when the screen opens and he tries to enter the password, the screen seems FROZEN and don't let him enter his password.

. the only way to work around this problem seems to be to restart. as the machine is old, reboot may take 10 minutes or more. What can be done to avoid this mess?

Oddly it only happened in the last 2 weeks... for almost a year that wasn't a problem...

concise simple tips are appreciated.

Hello

See if that helps you.

The second part is on XP and standby / sleep of password.

And there is an option of password screensaver in XP, too;

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Lightroom can't use the catalog named 5 because lightroom catalog that it is not writable and cannot be opened

    I've been struggling for hours to open lightroom. My computer turns off without reason, and then I went back into the light room and had the following startup message:

    Lightroom can't use the lightroom catalog 5 catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened.

    I tried everything I can. I searched online and you have deleted the files of 'locking' of the catalogue record. I did what is obvious and just rebooted. I checked the 'permissions' and nothing has worked. Help, please. I JUST finished images edited in 1000 and I need to export. I won't cry if I need to change their brand new

  • Cannot open the 5.3 Lightroom Catalog. Download «...» It is not writable and cannot be opened"message.

    Hello world

    I'm having a problem opening a lightroom catalog. I get a message "Lightroom can't use the catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened.

    The catalogue and thousands of RAW files are stored on an external drive.

    Here are the steps that caused the problem in my view:

    1 has worked with the catalog on my laptop. Disconnected the disk without closing first Lightroom (big mistake).

    2 connect the external hard drive on desktop PC and did extra work. Closed Ligtroom (office) and disconnected the disk.

    3 reconnect the drive of the laptop while original catalogue is always open (see #1 above). Clicked on an image at which point Lightroom crashed and closed by itself.

    The problem now is that the catalog opens is no longer on computers. Any attempt to open the results in the message "Lightroom can't use the catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened. There is no lock or log file that can be deleted, just the lrcat file and tons of files with preview of the data.

    I hope this isn't a lost cause and I can still recover the catalog. There are 2 work days.

    Thanks in advance for any help/advice!

    Ok. I found a solution. As Ligthroom catalog is a SQLite database, you can use a database tool to fix it. Just download SQLite www.sqlite.org for your OS (Windows 7 in my case) and unzip into C:\SQLite for ease of use. Copy your catalog corrupted the C:\SQLite file as well as to keep things simple.

    At the command prompt start > run, type 'cmd' and press ENTER. This opens the command prompt where you will need to run the following commands:

    1 cd sqlite

    2. echo .dump | SQLite3 yourcatalogfilename.lrcat > tempcatalog.sql

    3 sqlite3 - init tempcatalog.sql newcatalogfilename.lrcat

    After the execution of line 3, you may or may not see error messages. No worries, it simply truncated faulty records that is what causes the catalog to crash.

    Now, copy the newcatalogfilename.lrcat into your lightroom catalog file and run it. You should be able to get things up and running to where you left, or to the point where original Lightroom Catalog has been corrupted in first place.

    I hope this helps. It took me a few hours to find a solution, but it saved me at least 2 days of work. Original credit goes to the author of the article according to http://www.simplyness.com/more-photography-tips/recover-corrupted-unrepairable-lightroom-3 - catalog - with - sqlite.html. It seemed to have worked for Lightroom 3 and still worked for Lightroom 5.3 in my case.

  • Lightroom cannot use the catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened

    My catalog is on an external hard drive and I lost the connection, resulting in an error message "Lightroom can't use the catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened" to come.

    There was no lock file to delete, and I deleted the log file. All write permissions have been verified on the hard disk, catalog and subfolders and I leave and I always get this error message.

    How can I get rid of this message and gain access to my catalog again?

    I'm on windows and not Mac. Thank you for your time, but I have already contacted Adobe via a chat service and the catalog has been corrupted. They fixed. Thanks again for your time.
