windows 2000 login problem - or how I screwed up!Hi,
We only run workgroups on our network, we do not have a domain. The other day the boss asked me to change the network settings so that all computers would be on the same workgroup. At the end of the day I had one more computer to go, I was in a rush and accidently set it to a domain. Now when the computer boots up, the administrator login requires a password and a domain to connect to. I want to get this computer network settings back to using workgroups. How do I do this? I have tried safe boot but no luck. Your help is greatly appreciated. thanks Bradley

I think that I must have been mistaken, I get the login screen which by default says User Name: Administrator and the password is blank. The is a check box below this that asks if you want to login using dialup connection (which we do not use) So basically, the login is asking me for a password which as far as I am concerned should not exist.

There is no such thing. Every Win2000 account has a password, even if it is a blank. If you cannot remember the password you used for the Administrator account then you can reset it to a blank with this boot disk: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html And in future you should plan ahead to avoid such embarasssing situations. How many sets of keys do you have for your car? More than one? Why? How many admin accounts do you have for your PCs? Just the one? Why?  |
