locked out of computer – domain changed?

by meagan.andrews . Updated 22 years, 1 month ago

Hello,
my lap top runs on win xp.
I am away from my office (and domain, network) and while attempting to connect to the internet in another office (and country) i have become locked out of my computer entirely (at startup when i enter user name and password access is denied – with a statement that either password or domain are incorrect)
The IT person in this office – to connect my computer modified in network settings the IP address (from automatic to a specifc address), WINS was left as automatic and DNS was also changed frm auto to a number. However no internet access was successful.

The computer was restarted and from that point on even when disconnected from the cable – my entry to my computer was denied.

Any suggestions on how to bypass this ctrl alt del start up procedure or any other alternatives would be very welcome.

thank you
