I was trying to remote desktop into my work laptop to avoid having to hook up my monitor keyboard and mouse. After failing a few times, I went into the control panel changed my work domain to my home workgroup, ignored the warning, and rebooted.

When I start up the computer, it's asking for a password for some account, and I can't change user. Am I stuck calling support at work? Is there anything I can do to just revert back to domain?

You could have logged into an offline system with a domain account as long as it hasn't been off the domain for too long.

Since your workplace probably wouldn't like the idea of you taking it off the domain to begin with, any other things you might to do it would just add on top of that. I'd call your support people to help you out.

i was hoping to avoid an embarrassing phone call to the help desk, since I probably shouldn't have been messing around in there

I know how you feel, but I've also been in the shoes of the support staff.

doesn't help that my office is like 40 minutes away, and it would suck to have to drive over

oh well, i will call them.

I looked into using backtrack linux to create a local admin, but i may dig myself into a deeper hole this way.
