Changed Domain to Workgroup and can't Login

kiwijbob

Using a work computer from home, work is no more.... now it's the liquidator's problem!! Setting up at home and I deleted all the other accounts/profiles apart from my own then changed it from a domain to a workgroup. Now when I restart I can't log on.....I'm not sure what the user name should be and there are no passwords on the computer. Rang the guy that used to look after our IT and he's no idea. I can't boot up in safe mode or by restoring the last known config that worked. All the references to this problem online seem to point to downloading/paying for software to reset the admin password, my problem is that there was no password. I've loads of stuff on that computer and it'll kill me to lose any. any help is greatly appreciated:o

If you need to get the password, use an OphCrack Live CD, I've used it before to get a password on a friend's PC.
