Unable to log you on because of an account restriction

March 28, 2008 By Robert Owen

Here’s a “duh” for you…

If, when trying to log onto a Win XP machine via Remote Desktop, you get:


"Unable to log you on because of an account restriction."

This can occur if the account you are using to connect with has a null (blank) password.

Apparently you cannot establish Remote Desktop connections when you are using an account with a null (blank) password.

Robert Owen I lead technology organizations and perform professionally as a musician. Those worlds may seem unrelated, but both revolve around complex systems, disciplined preparation, and people working together under pressure.
Over time, that overlap has shaped how I approach leadership, collaboration, and the work I do every day. More about me →.
