I have my old work laptop that they let me keep and it still boots to logging in to the work network. That's works fine when I enter the old password and can access everything on the laptop.
What I'd like to do is remove the work network and just use it like a normal single user PC. What I don't want to do is lose access to all the programs I have installed. That would be a nightmare to reinstall everything. I have all the data backed-up on an external USB drive so no worries there.
I also have admin priv's and can also login as the admin with the admin password.
Any help? Should I post this in a different area?
Thanks,
Mike
What operating system are you using? Also what do you mean by "remove the work network"?
If it is a Windows XP computer and you are trying to authenticate to a domain then you should:
1. Log in to the local machine as administrator
2. Right click on "My Computer" and choose "Properties"
3. Select the "Computer Name" tab
4. Where is says "To rename this computer or join a domain, click change", click "Change"
5. If it is joined to a domain then the radio button next to domain should be selected. Change it by selecting "workgroup" and entering a workgroup name.
6. Select ok all the way out and it should ask you to restart your computer.
This will remove it from the domain.
