Windows XP Log In

[markwilliams82]

I've got an PC with Windows XP and it keeps coming up with the Welcome to Windows login screen. The PC is no longer part of a network so how can I bypass the login screen and just log into the pc locally?
is there a way without having to wipe the computer?

If you mean the small grey dialoge box that comes up [after pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete sometimes] then you can click on Options and a third drop down box should appear.

Change it to the name of the computer and not the Domain name it came from. You can then log in locally. However, you should still be able to log in using your domain user and password.

Once you have access to the computer you can remove it from the domain.

I've tried login in selecting the computer name but it wouldnt work and I tried with the username and password but that didnt work either.

I just need to bypass it so I can disable it like in the other posts
