re: Cannot access companyweb Wednesday, February 22, 2006 at 1:38 pm Posted by Erik (3103 messages posted) From what I gathered from your post, you are trying to access the admin account but you don't know the password. Is that it? [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Cannot access companyweb Wednesday, February 22, 2006 at 2:22 pm Posted by James (5 messages posted) Not exactly. I am logged in as the administrator on the server and I know the admin password. But using this username and password I cannot seem to log in to the companyweb configuration. I think I must have changed the password and/or the username to administer my internal website because entering the administrator username and password doesnt work. Is it possible to reinstall companyweb? would this reset the password. I think by the main administrator account on the server usually is the username and password for configuring companyweb. Thanks again. On Wednesday, February 22, 2006 at 1:38 pm, Erik wrote: >From what I gathered from your post, you are trying to access the admin account but >you don't know the password. Is that it?

Thanks [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Cannot access companyweb Monday, March 13, 2006 at 10:51 am Posted by Neil Chong-Kit (1 messages posted) I struggled with 'The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted' after changing my Sharepoint password for a long time. I had to remove my intranet domain from Internet Explorer's Trusted Web Sites. This allowed the login dialog box to pop up when accessing Sharepoint, and I could enter the new password. Steps: In Interent Explorer, Tools, Interent Options, Security, Trusted Sites, Sites, then remove link to your intranet domain. PS. I know this mesage is old, but its one of the first which comes up in google when searching for this problem, so I'm posting my reply for everyone.

Still totally stuck on this one!

At the bottom under user authentication select the "prompt for user name and password".
