I need some help with Windows 2000 Professional.

I got tired of having to logon all the time, so I changed
some stuff without knowing what I was doing. I changed
the local policy so that now I can't logon to it at all--
no even as Administrator or as default. Here is the
message I get:

The local policy of this system does not permit you to
logon interactively.

I am not a part of a network of computers using this
program, either. Is there any hope for me to keep using
this program?
 
Hope,

I found this solution to work on PC's I had this happeen
to. If you need the ntrights.exe file, it can be
extracted from the i386 directory on the win 2k cd.
Otherwise if you can access email from another site, I can
email the files to you.

Here is a solution that I have found for the interactive
logon error...
You are going to need a secedit.sdb from a pc that works.
Boot into the Recovery console from a Win 2K CD or the
diskettes.

Did the following to resolve the issue.....
1) Went into C:\C Drive\WinNT\Security\Database

3) Renamed the secedit.sdb on the problem machine to
secedit.old_sdb

4) On the working machine(my machine).....copied the file
secedit.sdb and
pasted it into the problem machine.

5) Then went back to the command line
-entered the following command from the c:\ prompt:
ntrights -m -u <group or user> +r SeInteractiveLogonRight

Repeated step 5 until all users were completed...including
Administrator.

Everything seems ok. I logged in as Administrator on the
problem machine
and it logged in fine.
