the group policy client service failed the logon. Vista Home Premium SP2

Vista Home Premium SP2.

Seems to have happened during a Windows Update (but not positive).

I can't login as the admin, its asking for a password and I don't have one.

I have no restore point. Tried System restore, but didn't help.

anyone have any workarounds/suggestions on how to get around this?

Thanks

Hi,

I am afraid that you need an administrator account to fix this issue:

How to fix "The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access denied." error?

Thanks for the reply. I have another question - I was planning on upgrading to Windows 7. If I upgrade to Windows 7, will this problem go away? or will the upgrade fail without an admin account?

thanks.

Hi,

If you want to perform online upgrade, it would need administrator permission. If you perform a clean install to upgrade to Windows 7, just backup your files.
