Mike,

You can log onto the local machine without a domain being available even if
you previously logged onto a domain. From your logon window, there is a
field called "Log on to:" and there is a drop down. There should be a
listing for COMPUTERNAME (this computer) which will be the local machine.
Now all you need and I'm assuming you have this info, is the Adminstrator ID
and password on the local machine.
