Changed Domain to Workgroup and now cannot logon XP Pro

I changed the settings on my laptop from a domain (setup
at work) to a workgroup (to use at home) and Windows XP
Pro said it needed to restart to complete the change.
Upon restart, it requested a normal logon, but refuses to
let me in. I get the following error message:

"The system could not log you on. Make sure your User
name and domain are correct then type your password
again. Letters in passwords must be typed using the
correct case. Make sure that Caps Lock is not
accidentally on."

I can no longer logon on to my laptop, even to change the
settings back to they way they were! Any help would be
appreciated.

thx
