k sorry if im not providing all the info here but ill try to put in all the good stuff...
I have a laptop that used a domain from my old work, since then i have gone on to bigger and better things, i wanted to create a home network with my other laptop and i created a workgroup called MSHOME to link the computers together... now my login screen for xp doesnt have the 3rd area where i can enter my domains information, it only has username and password area, and my password doesnt work now that im not logging into my old domain. I had all my files and folders on that user name and now i cant access them. I can log on to the administrator account but i cant find my old user domain anymore to "try" to change the password...
here are my questions....
#1 i think if i can get the (domain) box at the xp login screen again and input all the old date i think my old password will work again so my question is ( how would i get that box to reappear again?)
#2 i havent checked becuase i left my laptop at my friends house, but would system restore fix this problem?
#3 if worse came to worse is there any way i can retrieve that data from that user name and merge it with my new user name so it will be like i never left?
(i have all my settings in like outlook and tons of other software configured, it would take me atleast a week to atleast get up and running again, and i got tons of work to do before then for my job)
lol Any more info i can provide would help me sooo much, also i tried useing a password reset device but it only found the admin remote access guest and a couple other accounts that arnt the one i need
