You will need to contact your IT department/network administrator.

He is going to have to tell you the password to a *local* account on that
system, such as the built-in "Administrator" account. Domain accounts are
irrelevant at this point.

If he takes his job seriously and follows some kind of security guideline he
will refuse to give you this information and you'll have to bring it in for
him to re-add you to the domain.
