A friend of mine has a laptop that was given to him. This laptop cam
from a corporate setting, and that company has since gone belly up. He
can only log in to the one user account; the Administrator password is
unknown, and he has no system disks. It used to be part of a domain,
but we tried telling it to belong to a workgroup instead of a domain
since it is only used at home. Oops. It asked to be rebooted, and then
when we tried logging on with the same username and password, it would
tell us that the username, password, or domain is wrong. We can't get
back in to tell it to rejoin a domain. Is it hopeless? Is there any
way to salvage the laptop, or should a new OS be installed?
Thanks,
Shawn
