OK, here's what I did.....

Took one of the computers from work home and tried to join a home workgroup
(WG1). When I did so, it asked me for an admin name and password, which I
gave it. Then it said I'd have to reboot to join the workgroup. When I
rebooted, I couldn't log on as ANYBODY, including the admin or ANY user.

WHAT DO I DO? I'm almost in tears!

Go to http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ and download the boot
disk, this will enable you to reset any system password on an NT class
operating system.

GreenieLeBrun,

Thanks for your help. What I did is basically what you suggested. I ran a
utility to enable the local administrator password and set it to <blank> and
started over. Problem solved!!

Malke,
BITE ME! It's not your place to tell me where I can post a message!

Thanks anyway!
Laurel
