I took a desktop computer home from work (it was on a
network, with server running NT) and was plugging it in to
my dsl modem/symantec firewall VPN 100 (with corresponding
firewall at the server) and went into "Networking" on
settings and unchecked "Domain" and checked "Workgroup"
(because my old Windows 98 had Workgroup Name). Now when
I try to log back on, it says: "The system could not log
you on. Make sure User name and domain are correct, then
type your password again. Letters in passwords must be
typed using the correct case. Make sure that Caps Lock is
not accidently on."

I know that the user name and the password is correct (I
even tried Administrator and the correct admins
password). I keep getting the same message... it says
make sure the domain is correct, but there is no line for
me to enter the domain (because I stupidly unchecked
it)... I've tried the F8 on startup and went to last
known good configuration, but that didn't work.

Any help for a really basic user? It would be much
appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Suzanne

What OS is the PC running?

When you removed the domain, the by product is the removal of your domain
logon account. You must take it to work and have a network admin add it back
into the domain.

You cannot add a comain user account to a workgroup
computer. As someone else has said, you need to find the
password for a local administrator's account.

(late advice It is a good idea to be logged on as a
local administrator when you make changes like removing a
computer from a domain. This gives you confidence that
you'll be able to log on afterwards.
