Login into a workgroup computer

[Paul Hinks]

i have dropped a computer down to a workgroup and rebooted
and now i can't login. I know i cant use any of the domain
accounts to login cos its no longer part of the network.

is there a way of logging into the computer or finding out
the password?? is it the password that is entered whilst
installing the operating system? or what kind of username
and password would it be looking for (administrator)??

Thanks

Talk to the administrator of the network that the PC was
connected to, and ask him for the password of the
local administrator's account. If you acquired the
machine legitimately then he will be happy to give
you the password.

I am the administrator hahaha we just dont know the
local password for this particular machine. Is there
anyway of logging into the computer without knowing this
password?????
