xp logon lost

Can't logon as user or administrator. Domain name deleted and a workgroup was added. The system rebooted per compaq support so I could transfer files from my dell to my compaq. Now the XP logon screen won't let me logon as a user or administrator. Any ideas?

Did this unit ever boot properly? If so access the Boot-up Options window (F8) during the beginning of the cycle.
Select "Last Known Working Configuration" (Para-quote)
If that fails try again and select "Safe Mode". Then enter the "MSCONFIG" window and click the "Startup" tab. Uncheck anything that you may have recently installed.

note that in safe mode you still have to login to access msconfig you need a linux boot disc, you can boot to it and change any users password to anything that you want, if you need it email me and i will send it to you (if the issue truly is a password problem) clarify on what you mean by "system reboot per compaq support"
