background info:
server is nt4.0, workstation win2000,

user changed their domain setting to a workgroup setting &
rebooted and we are no longer able to log back into the
workstation either network or local - how can we fix this
problem

Talk to your network administrator. He will log in locally,
then re-register the PC on the domain.

Unforturnately I am the network administrator and I cannot
log in locally. It will only give me access to the
network user name and login. Any ideas?

When you log on, you have to select the "local" domain in
the third box, not the network domain.

I do not get the third box anymore so i can't log in
locally - i get log in and password boxes -
what do i do?

If you only get two boxes then you're logging in
***locally***. What do you actually get when
you're trying? What message? What happens?

You have to logon as administrator with the local administrator passwor
for that machine, then you can add it back to the domain

when computer starts up it shows the windows 2000 prof
box, i have to hit ctrl, alt, delete, it gives me the
windows user name and a password box, no other box pops up
i can't bypass it to log in, the options box does not give
me the 3rd box as it use to

I'm afraid it's back to my first reply. You log in with a local
account/password (which you entered when you first loaded
Windows 2000), then you re-register the machine on the
domain.

Note that it is not possible to complete a Win2000 installation
without entering a password for "administrator", even if it is
a blank password! Are you trying to say that you forgot this
password? What about your alternative admin account?
Does it exist? Do you remember its password?

I've got it now - I'm not familiar with 2000 & didn't set
the machine up. I forgot about the admin password etc
until after I spoke to my unix programmer. Thank you all
for your help!

Vicki

By the way - it was blank!!!

vicki

I thought you said you were the administrator?
