On each of your machines you need to delete the user.dat and system.dat files.

The Registry hack to Force Network logon is this without the quotation marks:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon\MustBeValidated" (DWORD=1 to force logon or can't use Windows, and DWORD=0 to allow use of windows and bypass the logon screen)

Safe Mode bypasses logon also.
