MS 2000 Professional - no password for login

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I just changed my domain from my office computer to my home - by answering
the question in the Network Id tab : Will you use this computer for home -
After I did that the domain name changed to WORKGROUP. It asked me if I
wanted security on and I responded yes assuming that the my current logon and
password would work.

Now the NT Login screen will not recognize my old password. I cannot access
my system to change anything. Please help.
