Network problems - logging on

My laptop was previously configured for use on an office network and, having left the company, I simply retained the administrator rights and always just supplied the password to use the system.

My brother in law was setting up a very limited network for me in the house so that I could use one printer off both desktop and laptop.

He did not set any new administrator rights or new accounts he simply added the new network to my laptop.

Now at startup, my existing administrator account and password are not recognised and I am not being offered the choice of which domain to log into. We have tried every possiblilty, including logging on as a guest, safe mode command prompt etc but everytime it is asking for a username and password which is no longer recognised!

Help....................

Log on as local computer. That should work fine unless he has a domain setup. If he has a domain setup he will have to add you to the domain account if you are to share anything. Again if it is not on a domain simply select local computer from the drop down list. If it still does not work change the password for the Admin account. Look HERE! if you need to change it.
