Domain mess up..

Jay-qu · 01-15-2007, 03:53 AM

I have a computer here, running XP pro, that used to be part of a windows domain network. A few hours ago I tried to move it over to my home network but upon reseting the computer for the settings to take effect I can now no longer login because the user name and password that I had for the computer belonged to the domain. Which is now gone..

How can I either get around the password issue, or put it back on the domain?

Thanks, Jay

Hmmm... I don't know that we are going to be able to help getting around the password issue, but without the domain you will have to take the computer back to work and have someone put a local administrator or local user account on the machine for you. Then you will be able to log in. But it is against forum rules to tell you how to get around the issue.
