I have Windows 7: Login problems after restoring the windows image from back up. After restoring the image, the system is not letting to login as the active directory still has the old password which is changed.
When I try entering the old password, it says :- "invalid password or user name".
When I enter new password it says :- "the workstation does not have trust relation ship with primary domain controller".
So now, I cannot login! How to I resolve this problem?
This solution, I got from Microsoft KB:
It says to log in to local admin account, disconnect from domain and re-join.
Option 2:
However, I found a way to re-solve the problem without removing the machine from domain.
Here are the steps:
1. Boot in safemode with networking.
2. You can login with old credentials.
3. Now restart and boot normally. It will accept the old credentials now!.
4. After login, go to command prompt in admin mode.
5. perform gpupdate /force. This action will force clearing active directory cache which still has old password. Now restart the computer, you will be able to login with new credentials with no trust relationship error.
