I screwed up my work laptop big time (I think) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
Computer Specs: Home PC: Lunning windows XP Professional Laptop: Running Windows 2000 Pro with Novell Client I was trying to share my home printer and was following the instructions on my home pc to setup a home network. I then tried to search for the workgroup on my laptop but the laptop could not find the workgroup. I then went into the properties for my computer (on the laptop) and into network settings. My laptop was setup for a domain, I changed this by clicking the workgroup radio button and put in the name of the home workgroup. I had to then reboot to have the changes work. When I rebooted, I am no longer able to login at all, my password won't work. When I boot my laptop it goes straight into the Novell Login window, my username is there by default, I type my password and select workstation only, and I get nothing..... If you have any tips please help me....... |

thats because your admin at work has you logging into a domain. not a local login. and he probably doesn't have you as a local admin to be playing with his laptop setup or printers either...
no local admin username/pass? |

log on as a local administrator change back to the domain reboot |

not that big a problem. Should be able to get out of it if its a company laptop and the techs have the magic local admin password. good luck... |

I remember when I ran a windows 2000 domain...it was cool, but....
actually i cant think of a downside. Roaming profiles are awesome! Like instant backups. b |
