W2K local policy does not permit interactive login

After I installed Symantec Ghost 7.0 to do sme cloning of other pc's on my network, i rebooted and received the following message on the Administrator account:
"The local policy of the system does not permit you to logon interactively "

I am now locked out of my main PC in both that account and another account with administrator priviliges.

What can I do here to return to my PC?

Thanking you in advance for any help

Are you using a domain account or a local account? Did you try the local administrator? Did you try going to another machine and connecting to the policy remotely to try and change it?

 

local policy

i did try to log in as local admin.
i did not have a domain.
could ghost 7 have created a domain for me?
thanks for the interest

If you didn't run sysprep before running ghost, then it would have taken an exact snapshot of the machine. If it used to belong to a domain when you took the snapshot then it will when you bring it back.

Try connecting to the security policy remotely. The easiest method (if you have it available) would be to use user manager. Otherwise, use the MMC to connect to it and add rights to login locally. Although if the access this computer from the network has had the admin group removed also then there really isn't anything else you can do but rebuild the machine.
