win2000 >> Changed Computer Name I changed the name of a computer and it automatically rebooted. However, now
I can't log in. The old username and password don't work and the new
computer name doesn't work since I don't have a password.

Any suggestions on how to get in. (I don't have administrator access)

Windows OS240  
 
 
Pegasus

Your machine was probably registered on an NT domain.
By changing its name you broke the registration link. Talk
to your network adminstrator to have it re-registered.
