restarted I found that I could not log on with my
Administrator password. HELP!!

You did not have a local user setup? In other words, you were logging into
the domain?
 
You have just learned that removing your computer from the domain makes your
domain account irrelevant. It actually warns you with a big message box
when do this :)

Anyway, you will need to contact whoever set the PC up for you... probably
your network admin/IT department at work. They will have to provide you
with a local account on the system.
 
That's the odd thing, this is a laptop that I used to
logon to whether the domain was present or not. I was
having trouble accessing my home internet (on a new
wireless system) and thought I needed to change to my
home workgroup to access.
