I’ve seen this question being asked many times on this site, but I’ve yet to find a fix to this.
Anyway, my laptop is a part of the company’s (whose employee I am) domain. The laptop was given to me by the company, and before me was used by a colleague that had to leave.
The reason why they gave it to me was that I had to continue working on the project he’s been working on (before his departure). This was mainly because we’re on a thight schedule, and reinstalling the whole app / dependencies on my initial machine/account would have taken an unestimable amount of time. I mention that prior to the blocker, I was working on his account.
The IT folks closed his account though and since I was logged into the domain while this happened, I think I get the error mentioned in the post title. I’ll probably be able to talk tomorrow or in a few days with the IT guys and they will unlock the account, but I since I really need to finish something by tomorrow, I’m asking:
Is it somehow possible to log in with his account, bypassing the blocker mentioned in the post title? I also mention that I’m not currently logged in in the company’s domain and I am writing this from my account.
Answer
That particular error message means that no domain controllers are able to evaluate your credentials. If the account was disabled, the error message would state that.
I don’t think it’s ethical for us to help you circumvent your employer’s security measures. I also think it was proper of them to disable the credentials of a departed colleague, although the error message you’re receiving doesn’t reflect that.
