To log in locally, you need to know a local Administrator account name and
password on the workstation.

The person who installed Windows should know this. There is no default
password, it is always chosen by the installer person. If you don't know
it, call your helpdesk or try a password reset disk as listed in the FAQ:

http://securityadmin.info/faq.asp#password

Then, to rejoin the domain, you have to plug your computer into the network
with the domain and join it while you have someone around who can type in a
Domain Administrator account name and password.
