Windows XP Virtual Machine "Unable to log on because of an account restriction" as Administrator
I got virtual machine today and just finished downloading some software that required a reboot. Earlier before the reboot, I wanted to remove my password I had set for the account so I went to user properties in control panel and changed my password to nothing. Problem is that now when i try to log back into it I receive "Unable to log on because of an account restriction" although I am the admin to the console. Does anybody know how I can work around this login/reset my password? I can't get into the machine at all. I'm merely stuck at login. And there is no safe mode F8 command on bootup for virtuals, I've already tried that. Thanks in advance.1 person needs an answerI do too

Unfortunately, it does not work, I'll just have to delete it and make another machine. Not a huge loss I suppose. Thanks for trying.
