validating the user credentials WINDOWS2000 and XP

Hi All,

We are validating the user credentials in our application using the sample code mentioned in the following link

The code works fine for WIndows 2000 but we are facing a problem in XP..

when the password is EMPTY, then the validation fails for the local system account and same works fine if we give password (some string)

I would be great if someone can throw light on this ...

let me know in case u need clarification

regards,

yogish

That would be best asked at the windows newsgroups at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups

I think it will happen so.
Try with RunAs command (Right Click on an Executable and select RunAs).
If you give empty password, it will say password can't be empty.
