You are using your domain user account to log on
workgroup, so failed
The reason is workgroup required logoon locally using
local user account.
What the OS is install, a locally administrator account is
create with password. you can use this this local
administrator account to logon to workgroup.
If you cant remember the user ID and password of this
local administrator account, try using user ID
as "administrator" ( default ) and leaving password blank.
If this doesnt work, you have to download a bootdisk to
bootup the computer and reset the local administrator
account.
