    account lockout policy


    Hi, I recently installed win 7 ent. edition and i decided to change the account lockout threshold 4 invalid attempts. Everytime i shutdown the system and rebooted my account would be lockout for no reason. now its only happens to my account. This seems to happen on both my computers on the desktop and the laptop.

    Um, reset account lockout to default.

    Account Lockout - Reset Invalid Logon Counter

    or

    Account Lockout - Unlock a Locked Out User Account

    If that doesnt help restore from a backup before the problem
