My son's laptop is set up with Windows XP to log on to the
domain at his school. He was having trouble printing to a
printer at our home so I changed his network settings to
join him to my home workgroup. I planned to copy the file
he wanted to print over the network to my computer and
print it from there, then change his settings back to the
domain. He was allowed to join the workgroup using his
user name and password, then prompted to restart. After
the restart, he gets the message that his domain name or
password is incorrect and can't log on at all. His
computer is set up so that it doesn't show the domain name
at the logon screen and he has no option to log on
locally. If anyone knows how we can log on I would really
appreciate the info. We need to fix this by Friday, Dec.
26 before he leaves for a trip where he will need his
laptop and his school IT office is closed.

Don't you have "Advanced" button at the logon screen?

Do you have a logon screen similar to Win2K or XP-native?

Simply use the built-in Administrator account to log in locally.

To reconnect the laptop to the domain, you need to be physically
connected to the domain, you need to have administrative privileges to
the workstation, and you need to have administrative privileges to the
domain.
