Hello,

I changed Windows 2000 from Domain to Workgroup so that I could browse my
network from the laptop and when I rebooted I was no longer able to logon to
the computer. My username and password are no longer being accepted. Is
there a way to revert back to the way the computer used to be before I
changed this setting?

I have tried pressing F8 and going to Last Known Good Configuration and
still nothing works. Even the Administrative passwords are not working.
Augh.

When I use Last Known Good Configuration the only choice I have is Docked
Profile. I believe I could figure something out if I could just get to the
command prompt or even do more damage. Anyway, the laptop does not have a
floppy drive and I tried to make a bootable cd - and changed the setting in
the cmos to boot to the cd, but it would not. Augh.

Any suggestions or comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chuck
