My original computer won't boot up so our uncle gave us an old work computer with a user name and password. I was trying to download iTunes on to it last night but it said I couldn't because of the network. So I Googled what to do and found an answer of changing from Workgroup to Domain. The computer then told me to restart so I did. Now the username and password won't work, and neither with Administrator with a blank password. What can I do?
 
Solution
You don't have to know the computer name in order to log in locally. Just use ".\<username>" (without the quotes) in the username field.

".\" is the shortcut for a local login.

Petrossa, it was in workgroup and changed to Domain, so I want in domain when I changed it. I know the username that worked, but I don't know the pcname. Or were you saying just to write pcname?
