Guyz,
I have got Windows2000 Professional and it is giving
following error and reboots.
"Security Account Manager initialization failed because of
the following error: The security ID structure is invalid.
Error Status 0xc0000078. Please click ok to shut down this
system and reboot into safe mode."
Does anybody know the cause and remedy of this problem ?
Your prompt and helpful reply will highly be appreciated.

Regards,

Irfan Asim
 
Thanks for the reply James. Actually I m unable to logon
to my system . The error message appears and system gets
rebooted. This situation also appears in safe mode and
other modes. Therefore i can not edit registry or
anything. All i can do is to boot it from any floppy or cd
and edit any file etc. So is there any other solutions ??
Thanks once again

Irfan,

Have you tried the "previous good" option?

The only other alternative is to restore your last good
registry, whether from the PC itself or CD or floppy.

Kindest regards,

James
