I cannot open Microsoft Mail Postoffice. I get the following error message: The postoffice is already being managed by, Try again later.
I'm the only one who has access to the Windows NT Server 4.0. I never had this message, I didn't changed the password.
Any ideas what I can do to solve this problem.
 
Someone has sucessfully accessed the Postoffice Admin screen, from somewhere on the network. (Most likely the password has leaked)

Try Server Manager and look for connections to the Admin program on the server. Track down the offender. Server Manager should tell you who and on what machine has the open connection.

Killing the connection from here will let you get back in.

I suggest you change the password when you get back in.

Good Luck
