Best way is to have a backup Admin account.<br />
You can also set the timer before the account lockout is reset so that you only have to wait a bit before it's unlocked again...

We have windows 2000 server which is not in Active Directory, I logged on to the server at the console with administrator account, then another administrator tried to log on to the same server with administrator account, after few trials he got locked out, so since I was already at the console I managed to unlock him.<br />
<br />
My question is if I wasn't &nbsp;already at the console, how &nbsp;am I going to unlock the administrator account?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Administrator Account Locked out

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
