@kjetilpettersson: "Running SPS 2003 on a w2k3 domain.
Had a user TESTUSER (hooked up to emailaddress <email_address>) in AD 
that I used to access a site in SPS. Unfortunately I accidently deleted this 
AD user, so I recreated another user with the same name. Then I tried to log 
in. No go - it wouldnt accept my user/password anymore.  Next I deleted the 
users roles and the account from SP.  However - using SQL I can still see 
that the account is listed in the table UserInfo. I can try and add the 
account to my site either using  MYDOMAIN\TESTUSER or 
<email_address> - it will let me add the account but as soon as I type 
in either one - the other one is retrieved from within SPs database (ie I 
type MYDOMAIN\TESTUSER and press next and it fills in the emailaddress 
<email_address> and vica versa).
I presume that the problem has to do with the fact I use a domain account 
with the same name but a different SID - now is there a way I can either 
delete all references to TESTUSER from my SPS or can I somehow sync the 
SP-user account with my newly created AD accounts SID.
I have read that altering the SPUsers table directly via SQL is a bad idea 
so unless someone thinks it's a good idea I'm gonna pass on that.

    @kjetilpettersson: "I think I solved it. Thanks to Jason Wenger for hist post.
To quote him:
<quote>
I tried this before for the site which I was having trouble with, but this 
time I deleted the "dead" SP-account from all sites and the portal.
(I.e. I systematicaaly went through
<url>
<url>
<url>
etc..)
Once all those references to my old account was deleted I was able to 
recreate the new SP-account which referred to the newly created AD-account 
(using the same name but of course different SID).
It's worth mentioning that by using SQL I can still see that the old account 
is listed in the table UserInfo (Now I see MYDOMAIN\TESTUSER twice but with 
different tp_ID and tp_GUID). I Hope this isn't going to cause any trouble 
for me in the future. I've learned my lesson - never delete an AD account 
and think you can recreate it in SPS.
