Can't access Windows XP

I am working on a DELL w/XP The person had a domain with password. I changed the domain to the house domain, now the password doesn't work and I can't get into windows. How do I get into Windows first and then remove the password line so this doesn't happen again. Thanks

You can reset the password with Peter Nordahl's password reset boot CD:

When you go to log on, click on the Options button and see if a drop down box appears with the domain info.  Try changing the listed domain to your home domain or the local machine and logging on with those credentials.

Thanks a, I used the Disk to goto System restore and set the date to last week. That Partially worked. I need now to eliminate that old domain entirely, since she hasn't contacted in the palce for years, and get her XP to log on without USer or Password.

BTW-JjcampNR, there was no domain field in or out of options. Thanks all for your help.
