You'll need to log in as the local administrator on that computer. After
you remove the computer from the domain DOMAIN\woody no longer has the right
to log in (or can be authenticated by anything). So you have to log in as
Administrator or some other local account on that computer. If you don't
know the admin password, hopefully the IT department where you work can tell
you it. Try leaving it blank first though.

BTW, why did you take it out of the domain? You'll have to put it back in
the next time you want to plug it in at work. Chances are you do not have
an account operator or domain admin account at work and your IT staff will
need to assist you with that.
