problem to login after changing from domain to workgroup

[thefish]

Hi,

I wanted to connect my notebook pc to my homenetwork , so I change the
notebook to be member of workgroup instead of the usual domain in my office
network. Now I cannot login to my notebook and I do not know how to change
it back.

The notebook does not have a Domain box to login as local user even after I
click the option button.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Hi Mark,

What was the exact error message, if any?

"System Cannot Log You On to This Domain" Error Message When You Try to Log
On to a Windows NT 4.0 Domain

Do some reading here and good luck: http://tinyurl.com/38y9c and

IIRC, the profile you normally use to logon to the domain with won't
work within the workgroup you are trying to join. You'll need to use
the local Administrator account on the notebook and create a new user
account for use on the workgroup.
