I tried to connect my office notebook to my own home network.
To change the name of the computer/notebook, I removed the notebook from the
active domain which is my company's domain,

After rebooting the notebook it was no longer possible to log-on. My
username and/or password are incorrect.
What can I do to gain access again to my notebook?

Your help would so much be appreciated

Don't log on with your domain account but with a local account.

Can you tell me how to obtain this local account, since I never configured a
local account.
When I start-up the computer I must enter a username and a password.

David,

Please disregard my previous answer.
I can log-in with administrator account.
Only the password was not the same as the administrators password for the
server, but it was the previously password used by the administrator.

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 your domain login credentials as invalid. You
need to be physically connected to the domain network, you need to have
administrative privileges to the workstation, and you need to have
administrative privileges on the domain. Then you can add the machine
back on to the domain, after having first deleted the computer's old
domain account (unless you've also renamed the computer).

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having
both at once. - RAH

They are different accounts. When connected to a domain you can choose to log on to the domain or locally, the option disappears if not on a domain.

one is
\\domainname\administrator

and the other

\\localcomputer\administrator

They have nothing to do with each other.
