SYMPTOMS

You may not be able to log on to your new Windows XP-based computer, or a computer in which Windows XP was installed from an installation source created by your administrator with Sysprep, after you run the Wizard, also called Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE), that runs when you first turn on the computer. You may also receive the following error message

System error lsass.exe:
When trying to update a password the return status indicates that the value provided as the current password is not correct.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if your computer is restarted during the Wizard (OOBE). If this occurs, OOBE cannot flush the Machine registry key before the computer is restarted.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows XP. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

To resolve this problem, reinstall Windows XP using the Recovery CD provided by your computer manufacturer or the installation source provided by your administrator, and do not turn off the computer or restart it during the Wizard. If your computer automatically restarts during the Wizard, contact your computer manufacturer or administrator for help to resolve this problem.
