Hello, I tried to change a services DACL on Windows 2003 .... now I locked myself out of the service because the DACL was reset. Now when I use: "sc sdshow tomcatform" I get the following output: [SC] OpenService FAILED 5: Access is denied. I'm not able able to start stop the service as I get "access denied" ... Whatever I try I'm not able to reset the DACL to the default as I keep getting "access denied" messages. I tried to do the following without success: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926639/?sd=RMVP&fr=1 Can someone tell me how can I restore the default DACL on this service? Thank you very much!!!! Didier
