Hello everyone..
I have a client that has Windows XP Professional computers w/SP3 and they
are not joined to a domain. They are on a peer to peer network joined to a
workgroup.
From time to time, one of the computers won't let one of the users logon
after the computer is freshly booted. It says the account has been locked
out and contact the administrator.
I CAN Login to the same computer as the administrator but not as that user.
Account lockout have been set in local security to 3 attempts then lock them
out and I realize that the user might be making mistakes as he attempts to
login,
My question is, how does an administrator login to that computer and unlock
the locked out user account?
I saw a document on technet.... Securing Windows XP Professional in a
Peer-to-Peer Networking Environment

That says the following,,,
To unlock a locked user account
1.. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2.. Double-click User Accounts.
3.. Click the Advanced tab and then click the Advanced button.
4.. Click the Users branch.
5.. Find the affected user account and double-click it.
6.. Clear the Account is locked out checkbox and then click OK.
But I can't find the advanced tab in User accounts,,,
Any help would be appreciated,,,
