Hi,
I have posted this in the "XP Help and Support" group but maybe it is not
the right group... and I am getting deperate for not having access to my
laptop anymore!
I wanted to connect my private computer working under XP to my office laptop
also working under XP.
What I did is changing the settings in my professional computer under
"Computer" --> Properties --> "Computer Name" --> "Network ID" from
professional (connected to a company network) to private.

Now, when I start my laptop, I do not get the possibility to choose the
network domain anymore, and when I fill in there my professional user ID and
password I get a "wrong password" message... so I can't access the system to
change the networking properties as they were before.

Could you please let me know what I can do to log on again?

Many thanks for your kind help!

Best regards,

--
