Logging on windows2000 Professional 1

[plezhelpme]

Hello,
I need some help as I messed up my 2000 Professional workstation. I wanted to setup a home network and changed the old NT domain and switched to Workgroup. I hoped that it would bypass the NT domain and would use the workgroup only.

When I restarted the PC, it would not let me log on again with the usual user-ID and password and not even with the Admin user-ID and password. I also tried another logon I have on this machine, but didn't let me log in as well.

I restarted the machine and selected 'last good profile', but still would not let me log in again. What can I do to restore the old settings?

Thanks,

unfortunately you cannot go back to your previous settings, once you have logged in, you cannot use the LKGC (last known good configuration), however, search the internet, there are a few tools out there that will get your password reset for you so that you can log in again and conenct to the domain, other than that, you have to re load the machine.

Try this utility, but be careful. . .

It should work on NT, XP, and 2K systems.

I have used it with success in the past, but please read the FAQ before you attempt it.

Hope this helps,
Martin
