I was trying to create a home network on my laptop and do so, I
changed the settings to add a 'home' workgroup and thereby removed the
original 'work' domain that the computer was a member of.

Now on re-starting the machine, I cannot log on as the login screen
will not recognise my username/password and it asks me to verify that
my domain entry s correst but there is no way for me to choose any
domain?

Tried loggin in a administrator and that didn't work either....

Please help!

You will have to join the domain again. You'll find this under System
Properties (Control Panel>System) Computer Name. There's a button to
join the computer to a domain. If you are not the system administrator
for your domain, you'll probably have to take your laptop to them and
ask them nicely to fix your mistake.

The "Home Network Wizard" is a joke and has never worked for me. It's best
to turn on all advanced options and do it yourself.
