Changed network settings now login doesn't work-HELP

troubleintejas · 08-03-2009, 07:43 PM

Hi!
I recently acquired a Dell Latitude LS Laptop (PPO1S) from my boss. I know the password and used it to log on a couple of times at the Windows 2000 Pro prompt screen. While logged in, I changed the settings to connect to my home wireless network. I restarted the computer and now I cannot login at all. AT start-up, there is an option to go into MS DOS mode but I have no clue if this would help even if I knew what I was doing. Can anyone help? Thanks!!

at the login screen, it should give you three boxes, one for username, password, and domain. The domain is probably set to a work network, change it to "this computer" and try that way. You may have to use the administrator user name if the one you have doesn't work.
