Not sure, but what happens when you use the normal windows rdp client,
mstsc.exe, to connect using the same user/password. Does that work?
Just eliminating things...

I'm having the same problem as Nicholas.  The computer is in a
workgroup, so I put the machine name in as domain.  The correct password
still fails.  I only put in the username, using -d to put in the
computer name:  tsgrinder -w passlist.txt -d testxp -u chrys -b -n 2
192.168.0.2

Please help!  Thanks so much!

For those of you who are familiar with TSGRINDER, I would appreciate 
your help.



I having trouble compromising my remote machines.  The target devices 
are on a domain. I have the username (Local\Administrator) and typed 
the current password into the dictionary file (Wordlist.txt).  Then 
open a cmd-line, browse to my executable and type the following
string:



tsgrinder.exe -w wordlist.txt -b -n 1 -D 8 192.168.x.x



A RDP session opens and attempts the passwords within my dictionary 
(the correct password is third down on my list) but when it trys the 
right password it responds with a "Failed"??



I checked the local administrator account to verify it was not locked
out. 
Not sure what else to try??



Any help is appreciated!
