Can"t access localhost

Can"t access localhost

I'm doing some ASP.NET programming in VS 2005 on a fully upgraded XP
machine with IIS installed. Suddenly, I can't access localhost anymore.
I get an auto-generated page saying:

--
Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank
passwords not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction
has been enforced.
--

I checked the authentication rules on the Default Web Site. "Anonymous
Access" is checked, and I use my Administrator user account, which is
"OMICRON-GUSTAF\Gustaf" which has no password. Password is left blank,
and "Allow IIS to control password" is unchecked. I also checked Event
Viewer, and at every attempt to access localhost, a Warning is generated:

--
The server was unable to logon the Windows NT account
'OMICRON-GUSTAF\Gustaf' due to the following error: Logon failure: user
account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed,
logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced. The
data is the error code.

I've also been fiddling with the Local Security Settings MMC in
Administrator Tools, in particular the "Log on locally" setting. It
currently has Administrators, Users, Everyone, OMICRON-GUSTAF\Gustaf and
OMICRON-GUSTAF\ASPNET among others.

I've created a simple test page and made it the Default document.

Is there any way to fix it?

If I had only read this first error message more carefully... When
adding a password to my administrator user account, it worked again.
