yes, it is a member of a domain, I forgot to mention that.
But the problem appears when I'm disconnected too.
As for the error message, I don't remember it exactly (and I'm not on
this PC now to check), but the meaning was either user didn't exist or
password was wrong.


You are trying to log in locally ("This Computer") instead of into your domain user account. Most domain workstations don't have any local users except for the built-in Administrator and possibly one for IT. I usually make a local "tech " account when I'm setting up workstations for a domain.

So your domain user account doesn't exist as a local account which is why you can't log in. Either you are trying to log into "This Computer" erroneously (use the drop-down arrow or click "More Options" on the login screen to change to the domain) or your computer has become disjoined from the domain.

Contact your company's IT Dept. for help. This is not something you can handle yourself. If this is a computer that formerly belonged to a company and you have somehow acquired the machine, you need to do a clean install of Windows.

If you need more help, you'll need to provide more details. This link will show you how:
