When trying to log into windows xp pro, a message is displayed that says "The
security log on this system is full. Only administrators can log on to fix
the problem." How do I log on, there is only one local account and it won't
let me use that. Any suggestions/fixes?

Thanks
 
can you boot to safemode?? and kill the log from there. I f you can, set the
log to overwrite events as needed
 
ok, I got logged in through safe mode and typing administrator in the user
box. No how can I set the log to overwrite events as needed?
 
Sorry Frank, should have sent this in the original message
click start
click run, in the box type eventvwr.msc
when it opens, first clear the security log then in the left hand pane right
click the security log, select properties and under log size select
overwrite events as needed

Thank you, one more thing i have a problem with now. I fixed the system log
thanks for your help, but now It is saying I need a smart card to log in, I
went in via safemode and disabled smart card in the settings, but what elts
do i need to do?
 
Not really sure as I dont use smart cards. This is a question that some of
the others on this group are better equipped to deal with.
