OK, here's what I did.....

Took one of the computers from work home and tried to join a home
workgroup
(WG1). When I did so, it asked me for an admin name and password,
which I
gave it. Then it said I'd have to reboot to join the workgroup. When
I rebooted, I couldn't log on as ANYBODY, including the admin or ANY
user.

WHAT DO I DO? I'm almost in tears!
