My cousin brought home a computer from work that was running Windows 2000
(not sure of version). Originally, the "CTRL+ALT+Delete to start.." message
appeared and when name/password were entered, system started without problem
and yes, there was a domain name shown on the log-in window. As per work's
instructions, she deleed the software (via control panel/remove) that started
the network log-on screen. Now the problem.
After re-starting, the "CTRL+ALT+Delete to start " window has changed and
the domain name area in not shown. The system will not accept the
name/password only and keeps saying to check the domain name. How do I get
passed the CTRL+ALT+Delete log-0n window to try and repair? I have tried
booting to safe mode, but the "press CTRL+ALT+Delete " still appears, with
the same error message.What am I doing wrong? I do not have a great deal of
experience with 2000, but alot with XP, 98, Me, 95 etc.

When you disjoined the machine from the office domain you
broke the trust relationship that existed with the office server.
Your cousin now needs to ask the system administrator at
the office for the password of the local Administrator account.
 
Hello Doug,

Could help you, if your cosin doesn't remember the old password:
