PlayWithFire Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I was trying to remote desktop into my work laptop to avoid having to hook up my monitor keyboard and mouse. After failing a few times, I went into the control panel changed my work domain to my home workgroup, ignored the warning, and rebooted.When I start up the computer, it's asking for a password for some account, and I can't change user. Am I stuck calling support at work? Is there anything I can do to just revert back to domain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 You could have logged into an offline system with a domain account as long as it hasn't been off the domain for too long. Since your workplace probably wouldn't like the idea of you taking it off the domain to begin with, any other things you might to do it would just add on top of that. I'd call your support people to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayWithFire Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 doesn't help that my office is like 40 minutes away, and it would suck to have to drive overoh well, i will call them. I looked into using backtrack linux to create a local admin, but i may dig myself into a deeper hole this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
