I'm having trouble loging in to my System Admin. account and a standard account. The system administor's would not log in and so i reinstalled and reset the password. It worked again until I logged out. Then it did the same as before and is still in that condition. The two standard accounts worked fine until I reset the password on one of them and then it too did the same as the SA account.

Suggestions on fixing them?

How many Admin accounts do you have?
Also, do you have a Root or SuperUser account?

Hi Katherine!

When you say you "reinstalled and reset the password", do you mean you reinstalled the whole system? That mustve been a huge effort!

You could try to reset your password without reinstalling everything by starting from the Mac OS X install cd and resetting the password. This document will tell you how to do this (Resetting the original administrator account password): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156

Hopefully that will let you log in again. After that, I would advise checking your hard disk for errors. This document tells you how: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214

Then, I would download YASU from http://www.jimmitchelldesigns.com/yasu.html and run all the options that are checked as default (ie those checked in this picture - http://image.versiontracker.com/scrn...484/47Yasu.jpg .

Hopefully that will stop your account from not liking your password again

Good luck, and if you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask
