Domain changed, can't login

F

freckles

My system has 2 accounts: admin & guest. Admin belongs to
a domain and guest is disabled. I joined a new domain and
since then can't logon to the system, I get the following
message: "The system could not log you on. Make sure your
User name and domain name are correct,..." Is there a
workaround for me to login into the system localy w/o
joining a domain? Also, this is a dual boot system, so i
can login into may WinXP Pro partition and maybe do
something from that OS?

Specifically, what operating systems are on this computer?

Your accounts on your machine, Administrator and Guest are local to your
machine. After your machine is joined to the domain, your local computer
Administrator account stays the same (with the same password). You should
be able to log on to your machine locally (by selecting your computer name
in the dropdown list instead of the domain) as Administrator, as you were
doing before the computer joined the domain. You may also be able to log in
to the domain using your domain account.

Regards,
Daniel
