I have seen a thread with the same problem... (see http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.general/ browse_frm/thread/d4f9eab837df9ffd/65171fd673f63284?tvc=1&q=password%2Busern ame+grayed+out+windows+server&_done=%2Fgroups%3Fq%3Dpassword%2Busername+gray ed+out+windows+server%26start%3D20%26&_doneTitle=Back+to+Search&scrollSave=& &d#65171fd673f63284 (may be wrapped) AND/OR http://www.mcse.ms/archive183-2004-9-1105287.html Do you have something like VNC (or some other remote tool) installed on the server? See the info at the link mentioned above. Maybe that could help you.
