Ok guys.. I'm stuck in a bind...
Basically.. I changed my dad's laptop's Domain to my MSHOME workgroup...
And well.. it popped up with a message to create a username and a password..
I was too stupid to write that stuff down.. so like..basically I'm locked out of my computer.
I KNOW that the login name is the same as the Computer Name
and I KNOW that there is no password
But the thing is.. I don't know what the Computer Name is.. It's BANxxxxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is a bunch of numbers
So ummm yeah.. does anyone know how to help?
I tried pressin delete or F1 as the computer was starting up to enter the BIOS.. but that just popped up a O/S selection screen... I pressed F8 at that.. and the options it gives me are:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with networking
Safe mode with command prompt
Enable boot logging
enable VGA mode
Last Known Good Configuration (your recent settings that worked)
Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows Domain controllers only)
Debugging Mode
Start WIndows Normally
Reboot
After I pick any of the options.. it just pops me right back to the OS Selection menu... and when I pick an OS it sends me right back to the log in screen which I'm locked out of
Yeah.. this is rather frustrating... ummmm
By the way.. this computer is running Windows XP Professional... and at the OS selection screen it has:
Windows XP Professional
Windows Recovery Console
When I pick windows XP, you can guess that it makes me log in :-X
when I pick the recovery console.. i get a black screen with a little flashing _ at the top left hand corner... and it just stays there... :-[
Can someone help meeee? :-[
Thanks in advance!!!
