I used to connect my Win2000Pro laptop to a network with a
domain. Recently, I changed the "Network ID" to recognize
a workgroup on my home computer (mini-network), instead.
Now, when I login, I get a Windows (i.e. vs. Network)
login screen. My Windows login does not grant me
administrative rights. Thus, I can't change the network
ID back to the previous domain settings and I can't reset
the passwords. My company closed and there is no IT
support who can help. How can I regain my Network login
screen so I can get in with Administrator rights?
