There are several different ways that message can happen, and with XP there were a few more added. Rather than attempting to enumerate them, here's a
Google search expression that will produce all of them. The search uses the entire text of the message and is included in quotes ("Your account is configured to prevent you from using this computer"), so the results are all potentially relevant.
I read every article and it did not help me. I know how I did it. I was trying to take the logon password I thougth I did and restarted the computer the password logon came up. When I put in the password and the username that is when the prompt came up. I tried it on the safe mode and the same thing happend. Can you help me. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
If that fails, you may have to do a "parallel installation" of Windows 2000 into another directory, and use that copy to recover the data that's on the drive. Here are
Microsoft's notes about doing that.

First, try doing an "in-place upgrade", as described in this Microsoft article.
