    I have done the exact same thing. I can hit f8 and select safe mode but it still ends up at the log on screen. I got a new company laptop Friday and brought it home and was trying to connect to my home wireless. It connected fine but Internet Explorer still said page could not be displayed, even though in the bar at the bottom it showed me connected. I starte troubleshooting (huge mistake). I saw an option to delte domain and thought that must be the problem. Rebooted and now I have been trying for a day and a half to get back in. I called the help desk at work(in india) and they said I have to take it to the administrator Monday but I would like to fix it myself before then because I need it as soon as I get there. I just started a new job and have screwed the pooch already. I have tried all sorts of combos to log in as the administrator, no luck. I am in safe mose, it's in all 4 corners but still needs log on info. PLEASE HELP!!!!

    I have moved your post to it's own thread...you should not piggyback on another existing thread. ALways start your own so there is no confusion as to who is responding to whom.

    Now....did you try any of the answers in the other thread?

    If so, which ones and what happened?

    Sorry about that. I thought about starting a new one and in a panic, just started typing. Anyway, like I said, when I boot to safe mode, It still comes to the logon screen. There is no drop down for a domain anymore though. I have tried my own logon info, which previously worked, in regular start up and afe. I understand now, they do not work because I deleted myself from the domain. I have tried safe, safe with networking, safe with command propmpt. Everything leads me to the log on scren. I have tried some generic, admin/admin, admin/ with no password. Severla other combos. I cannot get it.

    You are probably SOL .....I doubt that you were a user on the local machine accounts....only on the domain for your job.

    You most likely will have to take it to work and have your IT guy fix it and help you with setting up at home. :(

    That's what I figured. I thought I would give it a try on here. I have gotten some good advice in the past but this time I guess I did it to myself. It just pisses me off(at myself) because I wasn't trying to hack anything, just get it to work on my home network.

    Thanks
