Trying to connect my work laptop to my new home network
(XP) Changed the domain on my laptop to my new home
network domain. It told me it could not remove my old
domain and asked me to reboot. Now when I reboot, I can
not get my domain drop down box. When I try to log in
using my old user name and password it will not let me
in. I tried a thousand differnt things to get logged in
including using the old domain name\user id, new doman\
user id and password, NOTHING WORKS! Help!

The sad part is now I realize I didn't have to do that at
all because my home desktop can see my laptop...I just
can't get into the laptop, I'm in huge trouble if I don't
get this fixed pronto!

Thanks in advance for your advice!
 
You have to take it back to the office and have the network admin add it
back to the domain. It must be physically connected to the network that
contains the domain controller to be rejoined to the domain. The network
admin is the one that has the privileges to add computers to the domain. You
must know a domain admin username and password to add computers to the
domain. Unless the network admin is willing to give you the local
administrator password you do not have much choice.
