Chapter 1

Hey Gang! Hadn't had anything to add to the chronicles, until 30 seconds ago. I present, the dumbest dev ever.

Dev walks over to my desk as I'm greedily and foolishly trying to shove my lunch in my mouth.

Derp: "Hey YankeeNinja. I can't login to my computer."

Me: "Ok, are you getting an error message?"

SIGH

Me: "Why the sigh?"

Derp: "Ehhhh, well, I need to try to remember what it says."

Me: "...OK, so what happens when you try to sign in?"

Derp: "Well....ummmm...it's the username/password fields, but then there's an error."

Me: "...OK, what does the error say?"

Derp: "Something about locked out and referenced account."

I browse AD and, sure enough, his account is locked out on one of the DCs. I unlock it and tell him to go back to his desk and try again and to call me from his desk.

PHONE RINGS

Me: "Yankeeninja speaking."

Derp: "OK, i'm at my desk, I'm trying to sign in and it's not....Oh, it's working! Why did this happen?"

Me: "You typed your password incorrectly too many times and your account locked out. It's a security feature."

Derp: "We should look into that. It's annoying that I cant login after that happens."

Me: "It's for security to the network to prevent unauthorized access to the system."

Derp: "But, I am authorized."
