Re-join a domain without using the admin password

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have a group of machines that belong to a domain (for examploe,
called DOMAIN). On some machines, the disk was erased and a new
operating system was installed (sometimes Windows 2000 and on others
Windows XP Pro). The hostnames of the machines remained the same.

Is at all possible, without supplying the admin password of the domain
for the client machines to re-join? For example (the command is from
the top of my head), issuing: netdom /d:DOMAIN /u:username /
p:password gives "access denied". (I know the username/password of a
member of the domain, but not the admin password).

Sincere regards, and forgive me in advance for any technical mistake,
Marco
