Greetings --
By changing the computer from the domain to a workgroup, you have
destroyed the trust between the domain and the machine. In doing so,
you have also rendered any domain login credentials as invalid.
You'll need to create a new local user account for your use.
1) Restart the computer and log in using the built-in Administrator
account.
2) Click Start > Run and enter "control userpasswords2" followed by
clicking "OK."
3) Click "Add....", creating a new username and filling in the
desired information, and then click "Next >"
4) Set the password as desired and click "Next >"
5) Select the desired privilege access level for the new user account
and click "Finish."
Please see the following Knowledge Base article for an alternate
method and more information:
HOW TO Create and Configure User Accounts in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;279783
6) Once the new account has been created, follow the instructions in
the following Knowledge Base article to copy data from your old domain
user account's profile to the new one:
How to Copy User Data to a New User Profile
