While testing out the 'Automatic login to host' feature of pcAnywhere I inadvertently locked out one of my accounts and cannot get it unlocked. After repeated trys to get pcAnywhere to auto login to the client PC it has evidently locked me out permanently. When I view the account under Active Directory the whole account is dimmed including everything under the 'Account' tab. The puzzling thing is that 'MaxDenials' in the registry is set to 0 therefore disabling any type of invalid login counting. There must be something else going on but I simply can't find it.

I am running W2K Server and W2K Pro on the clients and I've patched both to SP3. If anyone has any suggestions on how to correct this I'd be most appreciative as I've just about out of hair!!

Thanks,

Keith
