I am getting a problem when I try to log on my laptop -
although I know I am using correct details, the system
shoots back a message "Local policy does not permit you
to log on". I am not connected to anything.

I tried to log on as a new user also but it won't let
me. Any idea what is causing this or how to deal with it?

Thanks
 
you have to edit the local policy of the machine with
gpedit.msc, to allow local logons for your account
 
See the link below for two ways to fix the problem that require access to
another computer on the network while logged onto that remote computer with
a logon/password that is an administrator on the locked out computer.
Ntrights is the easiest way. Other wise you will need to reinstall your
operating system or do a parallel installation of the operating system to
access your files or try to replace secedit.sdb on the locked out operating
system using a copy from the newly installed operating system. Do NOT format
your hard drive or you may lose all of your data and a reinstall may cause
permanent lost access to any EFS encrypted files. --- Steve
