Log on problems

[Guest]

Hello everyone,

I have a laptop with Windows 2000 Professional, which is setup for use in the network at work. I installed a wireless-B card on the laptop aiming to use it at home, having my desktop connected to a router, which uses a DSL connection. The system was working well until I tried to establish a connection between the two computers for file transfers and the remote use of the printer (connected to the desktop) by the laptop, using the wireless access.

I may have done something wrong and now I cannot log onto my laptop. It will not recognize my user name and password, although I have tried all known combinations I have.

Does anybody know a way of bypassing the secure login and fixing the problem? Or do I have to address this with our administrator at work?

I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Sounds like you changed to workgroup mode. Disjoining the domain destroyed
the client/ domain trust. You'll need to physically reconnect to the domain
and rejoin it to the domain. You can logon locally with any valid local
account. The cached domain account information is no longer available. Ask
the systems administrator to rejoin the pc back to the domain.

This is all well and good Dave, but I'm a home user having
the same problems. I guess I'm the administrator! What
exactly do you mean by "physically reconnect to the domain

and rejoin it to the domain"? I'm proficient with Win98

but I'm new to Win 2000. Can I do this from another
computer on the same network? I can't even see the Win 2000
computer on my network because it's not logged on. If you
could clear this up a little, I'm sure I can fix it.

Thanks for the help.

Andy.

If you post some details of the problem, then someone may be able to help
you.

You have two options:

a) As Dave Patrick says: Take the machine back to the office,
connect it to the network, then ask you system admin to
re-register it on the office domain.

b) Log on locally with a local account. Ask your system administrator
for the password that goes with "administrator". Every machine,
without exception, has at least one local account, and in most
cases it is called "administrator".
