Log in after domain change

[Jason]

Working on a former xp pro business machine that's now
used alone (not networked) for someone's personal use. I
changed from the non-existing domain it was set up on to
a standard workgroup, "HOME". Without thinking that the
password was linked to the domain, I rebooted and can't
log in at all under the HOME workgroup. I also have no
option to change the domain at the log in.

ANY SUGGESTIONS? Or do I have to install another instance
of windows on a separate partition and pull the user's
files over?

Try taking ownership of the user profile folder if you're logged in as a
local admin.

I would if I could log in as anything. The profile of the
was the administrator and now I can't log into the
machine at all since the domain was changed to a
workgroup.

Got ya! In this case you may want to try this:

I've just gotta say that this utility is awesome and
enabled me to blank the admin password to access the
machine again. Thanks for the referral!
