Windows displays "Account Unknown" (with a SID) in the ACL when it can't
resolve the SID reference.
There can be a number of reasons for this. One common reason is that the
SID belongs to a domain account and the domain is not accessible. Another
is that the SID belongs to a local account on a different computer (e.g., a
removable disk is moved between computers and local accounts are in the
ACL). Well-known SIDs (e.g., S-1-5-32-544 for the local Administrators
group, etc.) should resolve from any computer.
