Domain Issues

My wife brought her computer home from work so we could
copy some personal files over to our home system. Since
her laptop was conifigured for a domain at work I changed
the setup to a workgroup that I use at home and then
rebooted the system as it asked me too. Now I cannot log
on to the operating system because it is not accepting
her user name and password anymore. I think it is still
looking for the domain. I do not have an administrator
log on and passoword.

I need to change the config back from the workgroup set
up to the original domain setup or how can I get it to
log back on to the operating system with the current
workgroup setup?

I would like to just put the system back to its orginal
state but once again no matter what I do it is asking for
a user name and password which is not accpeting the one
we always use.

thanks in advance,

Scott

Hi

Sorry, you will need to be connected to the domain (and know the local
administrators password) to be able to join the domain again. You wife needs to

contact IT personnel when she returns to work.
 
You will need to know a local user/password on the machine to get into it.
You are trying to logon using your wifes domain user/pass but as you
mentioned, you are not connected to the domain at home. The IT group at
your wifes work should be some help for you. You may also try using
administrator with no password.

Good Luck
