Getting past a windows log on password?

Lady_K

I've just got it to work but when I clicked ok a window has come up computer name changes at the top. It says enter the name and password of an account with permission to remove this computer from the domain with a dropdown box with my email address in it and a box for password and an ok and cancel button. I did change it to home and the workgroup needed a name too but it still had the domain name at the end of home so I just blanked that out

Just leave the passsword section blank, you may have to give it a name.

Try leaving it all blank first.

Account with permissions to remove from the domain:

Username - Administrator
Password - Whatever you reset it to using the CD you made earlier in the thread may do it?

Thanx it's worked, I put administrator and left it blank. I've also disabled all the other 5 users and I'll delete them if everythings ok.

Is it posible to change who its registered to? as I checked in system properties and its still saying the company it came from above a long number probably the windows number

Open notepad

Type

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"RegisteredOrganization"="What you like here"
"RegisteredOwner"="Your name here"

Save as regdetails.reg to the desktop.

Double click the file and say yes to adding to the registry. Job done

Dont delete them, just dissable.

And try and leave two active accounts both administrators then if anything goes wrong with one you may be able to get in with the other and fix it.
