changed domain to workgroup, can no longer log on

Will

Ok, so I have a machine running Win2k that was previously
on a domain, but I changed it to a workgroup and rebooted.
Of course, I didn't set up any accounts on the machine for
the workgroup and I didn't realize that I wouldn't be able
to logon with the same user name/password as I did on the
domain. Am I pretty much hosed here or is there anyway I
can get the machine back on the domain so I can log on again?

Thanks,
Will

There will be the local administrator account. Of course, you'll need to
know the password. Often this is set to 'password' or left blank (a bad
practice, but non the less I see it fairly often)

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.
