Problem after domain to workgroup

Hi, My computer is running Windows 2000 Professional. Normally I login under a domain. I accidentally changed the domain to workgroup. It simply took the changes and did not even prompt me about the consequences. Computer was rebooted. Now, I am unable to login to the computer at all. Help please. Sounds silly but I do not remember the administrator password. How can I recover from this situation? Please help.

Unfortunatly you cant, you must have an administrational password to access the local computer to put the computer back onto the domain
