I need a little help. I changed the domain name on my laptop to allow
access to my network, now at the WIN Log On prompt, it does not accept the
previous password.

How do I get back onto my system?

Thanks,
Starrchile

Hi

You should contact the IS support personnel for the domain, they will be able
to help you...
 
When you changed the name you removed the machine
from the prior domain, making log in with domain accounts
from that domain no longer possible.
If you joined it to a new domain then accounts from the
new domain should be available. If you are now only
in a workgroup then only machine local accounts work.
You can always use alt-cntrl-del-del to get the alternate
login dialog where you can enter accounts that are not
being displayed in the Welcome screen, but accounts of
the prior domain will remain unavailable until the machine
is rejoined to the prior domain.
