I have been working on a WIN2K Pro machine for almost a year. Everything (data, files, software) is under the Aministrator account "named administrator". So now that I'm runnig Win2K Server I cant log in under that account to the server. I able to log in as any other account.My question is how can I log in to the server under that account so that I can keep everything?

It would be best to use a different account and simply copy the contents of c:\documents and settings\administrator into the new account located in the same location after logging in as that user once before trying this copy.

I agree with mcconmw - you can also use "Start\Settings\Control Panel\System\User Profiles" to copy the profile and set the permissions properly. Heath
