XP Pro SP2 - Can't login after changing from domain to workgroup

[DARKGuy]

Greetings!

We used to share internet with a dude which is practically a jerk. However we now got our own internet service so we're ready to ditch him =)... buuuuuuuuut my mom's computer was in domain with his server (and I only used workgroup) so when we changed to our workgroup, her user doens't log in (as it isn't in domain).

My question is... is there a way to "convert" that domain user to a local user, or to remove the domain from her user so it doesn't get the password from there? We tried going into My Computer -> Properties -> Computer -> Network ID -> Wizard 1st option then the no domain option, typed our workgroup, and then when we went back to the login, she can't login .

We can log in with her user to do some changes or suggestions that can come up, and also the administrator account. We just need to know how to login into her user without the domain, just the workgroup.

Thanks in advance

did you create a local account with administrative privileges under control panel>user accounts before you let go of the domain?? If you haven't I may have somthing else you can do...

If it is win xp PRO (must be pro), type administrator in the username box and leave the P/W box blank. Every win xp PRO computer comes with an administrator account, it is just hidden from the welcome screen (If you use the welcome screen.) As long as this account was not disabled, this should work. If you have XP home, this will NOT work.
