System logon

I've just acquired a used computer using Win2000 and have
encountered something I don't quite understand. This
computer was originally on a network in a school district.

At boot, I get an error message telling me that the System
cannot log on, please check domain and user ID and re-
enter password.

The user account being booted to is Administrator, which
currently has a blank password since this machine is not
on a network. I can click OK and get through the error and
logon panel, but I would like to get rid of this error
message popping up everytime.

Is it possible this will always come up because I am
logging in as Administrator? It would be reasonable to
expect that the System could not automatically log on an
Administrator -- that would be defeating the purpose.

Any thoughts on the subject?

Thanks,

George
 
It sounds like your computer misses it's old domain. Try this, right click
on my computer go to network identification, and remove it from the domain.
Good Luck,
