Lsass.exe error

Problem: Error message: When trying to update a password the return status indicates that the value provided as the current password is not correct.

Solution is on the microsoft web page:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545

md tmp
copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bakcopy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bakcopy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bakcopy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bakcopy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

delete c:\windows\system32\config\systemdelete c:\windows\system32\config\softwaredelete c:\windows\system32\config\samdelete c:\windows\system32\config\securitydelete c:\windows\system32\config\default

copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\systemcopy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\softwarecopy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\samcopy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\securitycopy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

And:


C:\System Volume Information\_restore{D86480E3-73EF-47BC-A0EB-A81BE6EE3ED8}\RP1\Snapshot

From Snapshot copy the following files to C:\Windows\Tmp:

_REGISTRY_USER_.DEFAULT

_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY

_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE

_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM

_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM

Then, rename


_REGISTRY_USER_.DEFAULT rename into DEFAULT

_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY rename into SECURITY

_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE rename into SOFTWARE

_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM rename into SYSTEM

_REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM rename into SAM

And then
copy c:\windows\tmp\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
copy c:\windows\tmp\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy c:\windows\tmp\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
copy c:\windows\tmp\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
copy c:\windows\tmp\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

However,
afterwards there was this error message:
Error code: 0x80004005

It was solved with Windows Repair
without formatting!! Just repair.

Then,
there was error with logging into domain.
The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.

It was solved by typing in the name of domain (for example microsoft.corp) here:

Control panel - Network connections - Local Area Connection - Properties -
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) - Properties - Advanced - DNS
DNS Suffix: microsoft.corp
