problems with LogonUser !!!

[WebStar]

ihave this part of code:
HANDLE hUser;
bool b=FALSE;
if:LogonUser("Administrator", NULL, "zxb0bPQp", LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, &hUser)) b=TRUE;
if(b) MessageBox(0,"pass valid","pass valid",MB_OK);
else MessageBox(0,"pass invalid","pass invalid",MB_OK);

it always returns false ("pass invalid&quot, the user name and pass are good for sure, my OS is Win2k. what should i do?

Well that's because your LogonUser call is failing and it's skipping the b=TRUE. So since you have set b=FALSE the if statement if(b) displays "Invalid".

You'll have to determine why the LogonUser is failing.

char * User = "Administrator" ;
char * Pass = "zxb0bPQp" ;
HANDLE hUser = 0 ;
bool b=FALSE;
if:LogonUser(User, _T(".&quot, Pass, LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, &hUser) == 0)
{
LPVOID lpMsgBuf ;
FormatMessage( FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER | FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM | FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS, NULL, GetLastError(), MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT), (LPTSTR) &lpMsgBuf, 0, NULL) ;
AfxMessageBox((LPCTSTR) lpMsgBuf) ;
LocalFree(lpMsgBuf) ;
}
else { b = TRUE ; }

This should give you an insight as to what is happening.

Thanx that really works...but
it works only when i'm logged in as Administrator, if i'm another user, i can't veify the admin pass... i need this 'cause i'm making a windows shell, and if i whant to administrate my shell i must provide the admin pass... and if i'm already logged in as admin, LogonUser it's not much help, but if i'm logged in as another user i need pass confirmation, and sadly this is not working. Anyway thanx.

In the past, I have also had to specify the domain with the username

username = "\\domain\name"
password = "password"
