Article: Q265720
Product(s): Microsoft Windows NT

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 SP6a 
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 SP6a

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

You may experience a "Stop 0x1E" error message when you change the domain
password with the C2 security registry entry enabled. The problem occurs if you
have Service Pack 6a (SP6a) installed and the following registry entry is set:

  Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
  Value: EnhancedSecurityLevel (REG_DWORD)
  Data: 1

This key ensures that Object Manager can change the attributes of a kernel object
in the Object table for the current process if (and only if) the previous mode
of the caller is kernel mode.

When you attempt to change the password after setting this registry value, you
receive the following error message:

  Stop 0x0000001e (0xc0000005, 0x8019bb12, 0x00000000, 0x0000022c)
