Hi,
My computer is running Windows 2000 Professional. Normally I login under a domain. I changed the domain to workgroup because I wanted to connect my computer to a workgroup network. Computer was rebooted to have the change take effect. Now, I am unable to login to the computer at all. Help please. Thanks!

Hi,
Nevermind. I got it working! Logged in with local administrator and added the machine back onto the domain. Thanks!

ER! ooops.. I have done the same thing and turns out (after many many long hours or research and trying different things!) that the only thing to do is login as the administrator and swap back from a workgroup to a domain....for which you need the I.P address etc.
You can possibly login as the administrator by using Administrator as the username and no psswrd. But not much use if you don't know the domain address.
