I see you've already gotten an answer to your question, but I wanted
to add a comment about crossposting.

You did *not* crosspost; what you did is multipost. I don't want to
give you a hard time, but for the future, please read my standard post
about multi-posting:

Please do not send the same message separately to more than one
newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just fragments the thread,
so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to see answers
from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the
newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message
multiple times instead of once (they would see it only once if you
correctly crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets
you poorer help than you should get.

If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please
do so by crossposting (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

Please see "What is the accepted way to share a message across
multiple newsgroups?" at http://smjg.port5.com/faqs/usenet/xpost.html




Just got new company laptop that was set up to log on to a domain in the
office. (ctrl-alt-del > user name + password). In trying to connect to my
home network to transfer some files I changed the Domain to Workgroup under
System > Computer Name > Rename, and put in the name of my home Workgroup. I
didn't change anything else.

Rebooted. Now I get to the ctrl-alt-del bit but by user name and password
are not accepted.

Any suggestions how I might get back in?

Jeff
