I am having a problem logging into my dell laptop. When I type the password in I get the message:

The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

The laptop is using XP pro.

Clarifications

the laptop was unable to contact a domain controller to verify your credentials [e.g. user name and password].

To log on to the domain when there is no domain controller to authenticate with, use cached credentials

OR you can log on locally provided that your account has log on rights to the local machine [in your case your laptop].
