Cant log in :(

Hi all!

I have a laptop which is running vista ultimate, it has been altered to work with my high schools network. Recently I went into system and changed the settings, it was set to work on a business group or something (I can't remember exactly) but I changed it to use on a home network and then restarted my computer and to find that I now cannot log in. I don't go to this high school anymore but when i was able to use it both there and at home with no problem. A solution would be to go back to this high school and ask them to fix it which I'm sure won't be a problem, but the holidays have just started and i would like to be able to use my laptop throughout.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

If I read your post correctly you are using a high school owned laptop?

no my high school allowed for students to purchase their own laptops and then allowed for thoses students to connect wirelessly from around the school on their own special network.

Anyways I have managed to fix my problem, for reason i wont post what program i used but will post what i did in case any others have this problem, i burned a program to a cd and then booted from that CD which wiped the admin password (which the school had set so that i wouldn't know ) and I then booted in safe mode and created a new administrator user and everything seems to be fine now

Thanks for replies
