Re: windows log in not working HELP

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Malke,
I believe that the problem you described is the one I'm experiencing
right now -
I accidentally changed my computer's domain to a workgroup so we could
share computers within the network.
Now, even in safe mode, I can't log in due to a "pre login error" from
Intel Pro/Wireless.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I recently tried to clean up some files on my laptop and it said it needed to

in and password and it said "the system could not log you on, Make sure you
user name and domain are correct then type your password again." It is not
giving me any choices of domain. I believe before this happened I went in to
take my log in info off because I am giving the computer to someone else and
wanted that information off. It said I was a workgroup and not sure what that
means but restarted quickly. I need to get into the computer to get word docs
off but nothing is working. I tried safe mode and it still asks for password
and does not work. PLEASE HELP!!

You've told the machine that it is a member of a domain but removed the
domain profile. Since you are giving the machine away, you should do a
clean install of Windows anyway. Make sure you give the recipient the
restore disks and any other disks for preinstalled software that came
with the laptop.
