Domain to workgroup woes

[Joe Trewin]

Hi,

I've brought an XP machine home from work which is a
member of a windows 2000 server domain.

I'm now trying to connect it to my home pc (also XP) so
that I can share the Internet connection.

So I changed it from using the domain to a workgroup - the
two pc's can now see each other fine, however, I forgot
that the account I log onto the work PC as is a cached
domain account - so obviously I can no longer access it,
nor can I change the work PC back to the domain so that I
can access it (as there's no domain controller available
to verify it).

So my question is - is there any way of accessing that
account?

Thanks for any help.
Joe

yes, you need some recovering password software to do that. For more and
