asked on

windows 7 safe mode

with winXP in safe mode, you didn't have to know the computer name to sign in.
with windows 7 if you don't know the computer name and say for instance, the last sign in was onto a domain, how do you sign in?

i know you use the local admin, but if the last login was on the domain, it will think you are trying to sign in as the admin of the domain, not the local admin.

thank you.
If you choose to change user and then type "Administrator" it will default to the local computer name and not the domain thus showing you what it is. I have used this trick often.
