When I try to logon to a computer in my domain it says
that the computers account is not on the primary domain
controller or the password is wrong. The computer is
listed in active directory under the computers group.
What can I do to be able to log on to this computer. I
need this computer to come up because it holds data for
the network. Please help

Reset the computer account. You can do this in the ADUC
MMC. Go tothe Container or OU where that computer account
resides, right click the object, select reset account and
you should be good to go. You can also use NETDOM to do
this...

Log on locally to the workstation and remove it from the
domain, reboot. In AD reset the computer account. On the
workstation logon locally and rejoin the domain.
