GUYS..
come on..
at the logon screen, click OPTIONS or SHOW or MORE options, or whatever the verbiage
is, then select the entry that is NOT THE DOMAIN, it is typically the PC NAME, then
use the local administrator username and password
IF you dont remember it, the ERD Disk you have already will let you change the password
(LockSmith ) to something..
THEN when you are in, remove the pc from the domain, it will ask for domain admin
username and pass, but i think you can fudge it because it cant confirm it, im not
sure on that part but either way, you are in at this point..
