need help please, accidently messed up domain/workgroup

[Guest]

I have a work computer running windows 2000 pro, the user name I log in as is defined to a certain domain. Last night I was trying to get my work computer to communicate with my new wireless home network. I right-clicked on the 'my computer' Iccon and went to properties then clicked 'network identification' tab. Here it showed my cpu name and domain. I then was curious(Oops) and clicked Network Id button in this wizard I clicked next and came to a question-"Select the option that best describes your computer", I selected off the "cpu is part of a business network..." and selected "this computer is for home use and is not part of a business network." The computer paused for 2-3 mins, I did not feel good about where this was going and once I got control back I clicked close thinking the changes would not take be applied, but now on the 'network identification' tab I had my cpu name and a Workgroup defined Workgroup? I tried to go back in and set up as a business computer but since I am offline it could not see the domain name I was trying to define. I later had to reboot, (gulp) and when I got to the log in page my User Name and password would not work, plus now there is no domain drop down to choose from. I tried all combinations of defaut passwords I could think of, ie Administrator with blank Admin.... No luck. How can I get back on my computer to fix this problem???? I am stuck in a very uncomfortable situation here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance...

Take your computer back to work and ask the admins to re-join you to the
domain. You didn't need to change from domain to workgroup to access your
home network.

Alas, it was not to be. You must go grovel in front of your sysadmin
tomorrow. I suggest bringing in some muffins and coffee. ;-)
