Hi,
I changed my computer name, then choose "workgroup" as domain name and
I restarted the computer.
New username was asked, and new password was asked also. I put the new
username, and for the password I left it blank since i didn't change
it. Result the system told to put the right password, what can I do to
have access back to my pc?

By changing the computer from the domain to a workgroup, you've
destroyed the trust between the domain and the machine. In doing so,
you've also rendered your domain login credentials as invalid. You'll
need to be physically connected to the domain network, you'll need to
have administrative privileges to the workstation, and you'll need to
have sufficient privileges on the domain. Then you can add the machine
back on to the domain, after having first deleted the computer's old
domain account (unless you've also renamed the computer).
