Before seeing what users were configured for the local PC, I changed my work
PC from being a domain member to being in a workgroup. I won't have access
to my work's domain controller (network) for weeks. How do I log on to my
local PC? I tried administrator with blank password, but it doesn't work. I
was thinking I'd just be able to ESC at the log on screen and start Windows.
Instead, it appears I need to use a valid user name and password. Please
help. Thanks.
By changing the computer from the domain to a workgroup, your son destroyed the trust between the domain and the machine. In doing so, he's also rendered your domain login credentials as invalid. You'll need to be physically connected to the domain network, you'll need to have administrative privileges to the workstation, and you'll need to have sufficient privileges on the domain. Then you can add the machine back on to the domain, after having first deleted the computer's old domain account (unless you've also renamed the computer).
Take the computer to your company's IT department for repairs.
