HELP! I'm locked out of my own computer

Hey,
Right now, I'm facing a crisis - my password is not recognized in WinXP.
I have a laptop with XPpro that has a wireless network in both the school and home. THe school one is already set to a domain and stuff. Then, looking at the sharing printer thing on these threads, tried to change the workgroup. Big mistake - now it won't even recognize my password. My username goes something like ******@****.net so its a domain logon.

Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks,
kram

I'm sorry for double posting, but this is urgent, and I need this fixed as soon as practicable. I'm in a tight spot here - I can't log onto my own computer to change the log on settings.

Thanks,
kram

If you want to log into the local Admin account, you can change the password to anything you like with this tool: (removed by moderator)

I can't count the number of times this has saved me from a client's losing their passwords.
