Not able to log on to Server from VPN

I am trying to get connected to my Server at work from my VPN which was
working. But when I changed my password it came up with the Windows
Authentication screen. But when I put in the Domain passwords - it kept
telling they weren't correct - which they are.

Now I get an account locked out message.

How do I unlock the connection? I can connect from another computer - just
not the one that was originally locked out.

Thanks,

Tom

Normally, you can unlock a user by going to the Local Security Policy/Users,
go to the User in question and uncheck the Locked out checkbox. BTW, is
there a way to do this remotely? I would like to be able to do this from my
workstation and not have to go into the server room to do this.

But in my case, it seems to be the computer that is locked out and not a
User as I can log onto this server from another machine.

Thanks,

Tom

You can install Active Directory Users and Computers on a workstation. To do that run adminpak.msi from the Windows 2000/2003 CD.
