Purchased my old laptop from my former employer upon separation. I had to
wipe it clean so I wanted to copy all personal data to my home desktop
through my home network. I changed the laptop's network settings from my
company's domain to my home workgroup and rebooted. I cannot login to
windows after the reboot using either the Administrator account and
password or my account and password (it has administrator rights). Any
suggestions on how I can regain access to the PC? Thanks
