Once you reset the computer under the Users and Computers mgmt
console, you will not be able to log in with a domain account. The
way I do it is to log back in on the local machine and un-join it from
the domain; then put the computer back on the domain. There might be
another way, but this works for me.

Have you try logging in with the local users?? Make sure at the login
prompt, the log on to field is selected 'ComputerName (This Computer)'

I'm not sure the repair will fix your problem. You need some way to
reset the Administrator account password. Try the below link to reset
the administrator password. If you don't want to use the link, the
other way is to reinstall the OS to reset the password.
