My business partner and I have moved office and with that move we no longer have access to the previous server we were hooked up to. The computer we use that is hooked up to the TV is logged in through a domain and when we enter the password the screen changes to say welcome before then rejecting the password and stating "There are currently no logon servers available to register the logon request"

We have tried other username and password combos and they either receive the same error or simply state Username and or Password are incorrect....

How do we get past the log on screen to even fix this thing?!?!?!

Any help very much appreciated

it's trying to contact an Active directory Domain Controller, is there a domain field? Set it to 'this computer' in order to log on locally. (This is from memory and based upon XP)

admin with no password doesn't work

tried to log on locally using the admin and username and passwords but still tries to connect to the old domain!

You can reset the password of the Administrator using a utility called http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ as long as the disk isn't encrypted.

Shouldnt do, are you typing in "pcname\username" then password?

Yes, i can see the domain flip from the server name to DAVE-PC which i understand is the local name...
