After updating to Mac OS X 10.3.9, a user who has account limitations may be unable to log in to the computer. When they attempt to log in from the Login window, the progress bar may stop moving and the computer may stop responding ("freeze").
This document applies to Mac OS X 10.3.9.
What can you do? Try any of these workarounds:
- Try deselecting the "Change password" checkbox under Limitations in Accounts preferences may resolve the issue.
- The user may be able to log in using Fast User Switching (that is, log in as a different user, then switch to the limited user).
- When logged in as an administrator, change the managed user account to a standard user account (one without limits but no administrator privileges) in Accounts preferences.
This document will be updated as more information becomes available.
