Logging onto Administrator account.

When I try to log onto the Administrator accounts on any of my three pc's I get the following error: "Unable to log you on because of an account restriction". I know what my password is because I reset it by running "control userpasswords2". Is there something that I'm missing, does the password has to be a particular password to get in, is there a register tweak that I'm not aware of, or I’m just missing it all together?

In Control Userpasswords2 have you tried UNchecking the "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer." ??
Not very secure, but if it works...........

Failing that, simply copy your Documents and Settings folder for each account, create new admin accounts, and paste them into the respective accounts.

Thanks Hooner for your response. I've already tried UNchecking the box as of matter of fact I still get the same error. I have created new admin accounts before in the past but I'd rather not do that because of limited space on my HDD. Any other suggestions. PLZ.
