There must be a local user administrator, did you set it up? if you did you must ave created a local administrator account, make sure when you log in it shows the "xxxx(this computer)" in the domain field, then login as "Administrator" plus the local administrators password. If you cant find this password then I am afraid it will mean a disk wipe and reinstall

Hi,

You need to rejoin the domain. If you dont have domain administrator privs, you may need to have the computer account re-created for you on the domain controller before you can re-join.

Cheers,
Tim.
