Hi Katherine,
It's not saying that the account or the password are wrong. It's saying that the account is locked out. Is it set up to automatically unlock accounts after a period of time? Is there a flag in the database that holds the authentication details that says whether or not an account is locked?

I'm trying to fix my web site and the authentication modules. I have since replaced the web.config file and some people are able to log into the site. I cannot log in either as the main administrator with a user name of admin, or as my secondary account, yet my friend's able to log in just fine. I get the following error message when trying to retrieve my user name since the site can no longer locate my account: Server Error in '/' Application. _____ The user account has been locked out.

So, my idea was to raise my friend as an administrator via the database, but I don't know how to do that and have the site replicate the change on the side of ASP.net. and why are these particular accounts being locked out and not taking email addresses? Thanks.
