W2K Application Server > Why can't I log on anymore?

I am administrator on a Windows 2000 server. It's only function is
application server.

The problem:
1) I press Ctrl+ALT+Delete,
2) I enter my username and password,
3) Windows starts logging me on,
4) and then it kicks me out back to the logon-box, where I have to press
Ctrl+ALT+Delete again.

Why can't I log on anymore? Even after rebooting.
>>>PS: I changed no login details accept for adding the administrator to remote
services and giving him full access rights.

Some background...

I wanted to be able to remote desktop in, but it kept on saying I don't have
rights. So I went to the Comp Mgntment, Local Policies and RAS and enabled
Dialin & VPN-access everywhere I could.

What went wrong? How can i log in again? Please help. Whole Application
Server is down!

I got the solution!

I remoted into the server's local permissions with Comp Mgmnt and removed
the administrator from the USERS members-list.
Since the Administrator is only an administrator, it works 100%. Logs in
beautifully.

Best Regards
