Ok, I know this is a classic stupid move but the last time I did it,
was long
enough ago that I forgot the pain. I was trying to get my work laptop
which
is a member of a domain to work on my home network (a Workgroup). So
I not-so-wisely decided to remove the laptop from my work domain
"temporarily"
so that I could use it on the workgroup at home. Of course the fisrt
thing that the computer does after being removed from a domian is
reboot at which point my domain password no longer works and I can't
recall any of the local
user passwords on my Laptop. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Take the laptop to your systems administrator at work and tell them you
are sorry. They will rejoin the laptop to the domain. Then when you
want to use it at home, see the following:
From MVP Lanwench - You don't need to change to a workgroup just toaccess resources on it. You shouldn't play with your laptop's network
settings at all. Once you've logged in using your domain account (using
cached credentials), and have an IP address on the home network, you
can map drives, use printers, whatnot, very easily - one way, in a
command line:
net use x: \\computername\sharename /user:computername\username <enter>
