when you changed the workgroup did it ask you for user name & password? if yes type them in you laptop log-on screen, if no check the domain in your laptop log-on screen select the right 1 then enter.

If not, do you see a button that says OPTIONS?
Click it and choose something (this computer)
and was this ever a work computer?

The only option is for internet connection, nothing else. It was never a work computer.Do you see a box that says Log On to?

No, there are only two boxes not three. This is exactly what comes up, no matter what I try:

system could not log you on. make sure your username and domain are correct then type your password again.
I don't have a username, don't know what domain it is, and never had a password. I really am appreciating your help. So far have always been able to solve any computer problems I have but this one has me stumped.

You need to press the OPTION button to get the third box
The only thing I get when I press on options is a tiny square box and next to it it says Log on using dial-up connection.

seems you have an admin user account in your laptop. If you have typed several times with wrong password then it may have disabled the account.

This is an old laptop that my aunt had. At the time she had it her nephew had put in an administrator's password, which, when it was given to me I changed to no password. I do have his old password and tried that several times but it keeps asking for the domain. I used that computer many times and after changing into to no password, I never had to log on it just went to the screen with all the icons automatically. This problem only arose after I changed the workgroup. Since I can't get into anything I can't even do a restore. Angie

Do you have a windows 2000 CD?
When rebooting and trying safe mode, was command line an option?
How are you wirelessly connecting? A pcmia slot device? internal wireless?
Can you remove/disable this device?
