Post by: twijtzes on December 02, 2009, 10:18:05 AM
I would like to login on a Windows computer into the domain as domain user 'admin' with the SME admin password. When trying to I get the message

Account is disabled, please contact system manager

You will probably have to activate your admin account (again) as normally this should work out of the box.

anyway, you can log in as local administrator

How do I reactivate my admin account ?
Let's first try and see if my suspicion is right.

Please execute the following command on your server (as root):
Code: [Select]
cat /etc/shadow | grep adminDo not post it's output in the forum. Instead just look at the line for the admin account and tell us if it has a random string after the first colon ( : ) after the username? other possibilities are two exclamation marks (!!) or a asterisk (*). Please let us know which you see, but do not post the random string if it is there.
