If you removed your computer from a domain, then domain logon and password will
not longer work and the computer will only be accessible via local computer user
accounts. The built in administrator account is always available on any
computer, so you should try to logon with that account or try to use methods to
reset the administrator account password. See the link below for many tips. --
