Can anyone help me here

I have reset the administrator password in 2000 SBS.
And now when i try to open AD i get the error.

"Naming information cannot be located because:
The logon attempt failed
Contct your system administrator to verify that your
domain is properly configured and is currently online."

I have tried all the Knowledge Base articles and they
haven't helped. If i change the administrator password
back to what it was, i am able to access Users etc under
AD.

Any help would be great.
Thanks
 
Dale,

The problem is that once you rename the administrator account, and you are
logged on as the old "administrator" when you try to access AD, it can no
longer resolve the old administrator account to a sid. You will want to
reboot the server after renaming the administrator account and you should
not have this problem after that.

I hope this helps.
