Having probs login onto domain

[Paul]

Not sure whether this is the correct group so please
excuse if it is not. Here is the issue. My buddy has a
laptop (Win2000 SP3)he uses for work that logs onto a
domain. He was trying to copy some files to his home
laptop via direct cable conection. He changed the network
settings on his work laptop to a workgroup (from a
domain). This is where the fun starts as he cannot now log
ontop the laptop as it appears not to recognise his login
and password. He was able to change to a workgroup because
his login had administrator rights. (Silly IT manager).
This is proving to be a problem for him at work as he
wasn't supposed to do this sort of thing. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

He will have to bring his laptop back to the network where it belongs and
ask the system administrator to rejoin it for him.

I have the same problem however I'm no longer with the
company, I don't need to be on their domain or in their
server, I just want access to my laptop. I had my
personal laptop set up to network in for my conveniance.
I did the exact same thing he did, but now I can not
access my laptop.

I don't have the option to choose my new homepc
workgroup, that's all I need to do, I don't need the old
domain.

HELP!

The OP's buddy is pretty lame, but if he or JJ want to get into their
laptops, just download one of the many linux based boot-floppy images that
can get around syskey and reset the local admin password. Search Google to
find.

If I were his network admin, he'd be talking to HR pretty damn soon for
messing around with company property and introducing trojan/viral risks by
attempting to connect a company asset to his untrusted home PC/network.
