    It sounds like you have targetted your password restricted workgroup file as your main workgroup.

    In your Microsoft Office folder you will have a file called 'Workgroup Administrator' or something like that. Dbl-click that file to open it and then if the Workgroup is not the system file i.e C:\WINDOWS\system32\SYSTEM.MDW then you need to change it to that.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
