If you don't know the log on info for a local account on the computer you'll have to contact your IT people for help.

My I.S. team has been over a week getting back to me on this issue.....HOW do I change my login server, so I can actually log in and get some work done? It keeps sayingmy username or PW is invalid, but I know its because the server doesnt match, and I cant go to (at least I thought it ws f10) command prompt and safe mode doesnt seem to do a thing. Any ideas that can help? I am desperate?! Thank u! Good morning, I have administrator rights on a computer that I brought home from work after having major surgery so I can do my work at home.

See the following for more details: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772455(WS.10).aspx After doing this, change someone (namely, you) could only connect to your Telnet server via NTLM authentication, which means that any hacker would need to know *both* your username and your password. IMHO, you could open up your telnet server to the World and be perfectly safe. Any potential hacker would not get any response when trying to connect to your Telnet server. For extra security, you could also change your Telnet port from 23 to some other port number. 4) Download the following program and store it in the "base" directory of the account that you created in Step 2: http://www.vistashutdowntimer.toflo.de/ 5) If you need to reboot your home machine remotely and cannot connect to it via Remote Desktop, telnet to it and then run the following command: Vista-ShutdownTimer.exe NCH0IY More command-line options are here: http://www.vistashutdowntimer.toflo.de/eng/VistaShutdownTimer_Info.html You may try adding the 'F' option if the above command does not work. 6) Wait 5 (or 10, for me at least!) minutes and then reconnect to your home machine via Remote Desktop!

To do so, just type net use \\computername /user:admin-username at the command prompt. replace admin-username with username that have administrative privileges in the computer. then you will be asked for password, type the password or leave it blank if that user doesn't have password. It worked for me. @zeeshan
