Hi mat,

If you start your ecs in console mode (hit Alt-F1 during start)
you can delete net.acc.

I have filecomander FC2 in a well known path and use it if console login 
needed.

You find the net.acc at:

$:\IBMLAN\ACOUNTS\NET.ACC  this is the running version
$:\IBMLAN\INSTALL\NETACC

I believe you can copy from INSTALL to ACOUNTS but please make a backup 
of them. If you start with deletet net.acc OS/2 may copy net.acc by 
himselve.

/-------------------------------------------------------
=> From my history

1. Reboot and when the "OS/2" message appears, press Alt-F1.
2. Drop to the command prompt (use original CONFIG.SYS).
3. Replace C:\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS\NET.ACC with C:\IBMLAN\INSTALL\NET.ACC.
4. Reboot.
5. After Peer has been started, log on using USERID/PASSWORD and you'll 
have access to Peer again as administrator.

Best Regards
