I just screwed up my co-worker's computer and am not sure
how to fix it. Here's what happened:

He had to use his boot cd to reboot his computer last
night. That elimintated all of his network settings. I
was putting him back on the network - I went to "My
Computer," "Computer Name," "Change." This is where I
had a problem, I accidently changed the domain to our
network (which would normally not be a problem, but he
has a laptop and we don't set our laptops up in that way).
I fixed that and put him into the workgroup instead.

Now I can't log on to his computer at all!

It doesn't recognize any user names or passwords. I just
don't know what the problem is. The way we had it set up
before was just like a normal Windows XP desktop. If you
didn't know better, you wouldn't realize that it was even
on a network. Now it comes up with the ctl alt dlt
screen and forces you to log on.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
 
You may be able to change the boot sequence at start up by pressing F8
and when you get to the boot screen tell it to boot without networking
support. Set a local administrator user and password then reboot and
log on to the local machine.
