Changed machine from domain to workgroup, can't login

[mystica]

Hi,

I have a Win2k client machine which used to be on a domain, but was changed to be on a workgroup. Now, the only user of the machine can't login anymore. He doesn't know the Administrator password :-(

Does anyone know a way out of this without a full re-install?

Thanks,

John-Paul Smith

Unfortuanlty I dont think there is a way around this you need the admin password to be able to login.

Sorry

Have you tried to login as guest? leaving the password blank?

Can you reconnect to the domain? If you can the you can login to the domain as an admin and change the local password from there by using computer management -> Local User and Groups.
