Error: The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship

Hey!

We run into a problem I've never seen before. We configured the Active directory as usual and after some updates and reboots, our access to the server was denied with and error: "Error: The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship"

At the moment we can't access with any user. Any idea how to reset the active directory from the BIOS, or how to access with a safe/recovery mode or similar, or simply bypass the Active directory to reconfigure it?

thanks.

    Hi,

    I do not have a local administrator account for the client PC, and it is critical, as it is the Boss's PC ...

    Is there any way to add the computer from teh Server side ?

    "Log in to the affected workstation using a local administrator account."
    Unless the computer in question is a DC with its administrator account disabled. Boned. :(
