[cvsnt] how to able a disabled account

[3c]

Vitali,

I checked what I have done as you suggested, and found that I made a 
mistake. The mistake was happened because the informaiton I've got from the 
Internet was wrong...  cvsnt is working on my WinXP now.  Thank you for your 
help and also for all the others.

Regards,

Sam
