guess new acct is the only soln . but is was nice to get a prob like this . anyway , lets not give up . the try these
admintools -> local security settings -> local policies -> security options
- audit : shutdown system immediately if unable to log security audits
- shutdown : allow system to be shutdown without having to log on
user rights assignment ->
- shutdown the system
- in properties add ur user id
there should be a rating on the toughest probs faced here
