A machine with o.s. 98 is on network. I want to login on the same machine as administrator but
i not allow. Because login window shows only three fields to fill 1.User 2. Password 3.Domain.
If i try to enter local machine name in Domain field it search for that domain.So i have to login as administrator of domain.

There may be a system policy forcing users to login to the domain.

Check the registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon\MustBeValidated and see if it is equal to 1.

Hit the Esc key. You will login locally only; all network connections will be invalid until reboot.

Do a new login with a different user name. The OS will allow you to get into everything. Remember there is no file security on Win98 OS. Anyone can log in to the computer with any user name and password and 98 will allow it.
Domain permissions are a different story. If the user name has no permissions on the domain then, depending on how the domain is set up you will be able or unable to access network rescources.

If u r not getting success in logon, just press esc and u will get access, even then if you can not view some or all things on desktop then there is change in registry just check with the registry to enable all things.

Have you checked the useraccounts in the controlpanel? Maybe the userID is defined as normal user and not as administrator?
