I got tired of entering a password for "administrator" to
log on to windows. So through User's Accounts, I changed
the administrator's password: entered the current, and
left the new password blank.... While I was in there, I
decide to give another Account POWER abilities.
restarted, and the log on box read: IUSR_(user's name), I
enter the password, and I recieve the "system could not
log you. please make sure.........." After trying three
more times, I then changed the user's name to
administrator and pressed enter... samething. then tried
the old password. PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS A WAY FOR ME TO
ACCESS MY SYSTEM TO FIX THIS.
 
I am not quite sure what happened and am really surprised that you saw the
IUSR_computername account in the logon screen as that is the account used
for anonymous access to a website hosted by your computer if used. Anyhow
see MVP Karl's FAQ link below for things to try to gain access to your
computer again. --- Steve
