No, it won't. There are domain groups/users local groups/users. The latter
don't depend on being attached to a domain controller; the former do.
If it is a plain vanilla install, there will an account named Administrator
with a password chosen at time of Windows installation. It just might be
blank. Check with whoever installed windows on your machine. You can log on
as Administrator and create other local users.
If no luck getting the Administrator password, your problem has just been
transformed into the one facing the earlier user in this thread.
