Changed from corporate workgroup to home net, now cannot logon

I changed an XPP notebook from a corporate workgroup setup to a home based
network I am now unable to logon at startup. The wizard that popped up when
I was trying to find out how to add a workgroup for my home net simply asked
if I wanted to set up either that or a coporate workgroup. After selecting
home based, the wizard came back with the restart to take effect message,
which I did. It never asked for a workgroup name or anything else. Now, at
startup, I'm faced with a logon prompt that shows the corporate logon name,
but will not accept the old password. Is there a default home network name
and/or password that might work here?
