    If this is a work computer, take it back to work an explain to them what you did and
    have them rejoin it to the domain which may require domain administrator credentials.
    If this is your machine and since you can access the drive from a floppy that means
    you must not be using ntfs file system. In that case boot to the floppy again and
    then rename the "sam file" in the \winnt\sytem32\config folder [ you could use the
    command " ren c:\winnt\system32\config\sam samold "] with the understanding that will
    remove all users and groups except default installation ones which may or may not be
    a problem. Reboot and you will be able to logon to the administrator account using
    no/blank password. --- Steve
