XP Default sign in

I just removed a laptop from my company's network back to default workgroup.
Now I can't get signed in! Any suggestions?

Thanks

Ask your company's system administrator to give you the name/password of a
local account.

Unfortunately, I'm at home with no access to them as they are out of town.
Is there not some type of default that I can use?

No, there is no "default". You can change the local administrator's password
to a blank with third-party tools, but if this computer is going to go back
to work with you, then your IT Dept. will be cross with you.

Probably you should just wait until tomorrow and get it taken care of
properly, but it's your choice.
