Hi Kathy,
You should be able to logon as the local administrator of the workstation
regardless of the domain problems. Unless you removed the local
administrators write permissions on the hard drive, it should work. When
you got the message Primary Domain Controller could not be found, it shows
that you are still trying to login to the domain. Be sure that you are
selecting the machine's name in the third drop down field on the logon screen.
Have you tried logging in with an invalid user name? Does it return the
same error message?
The problem sounds like the SID on the workstation is different from the
one registered on the Primary Domain Controller for the workstation. The
solution, once you get into the Workstation is to change it to being in a
workgroup. Then, using Server Manager delete the computers account and
then readd the machine to the domain.
Have you setup any explicit trust relationships between the workstation and
the domain controller? I think the error message about the trust between
the workstation and domain controller is say that the SID doesn't match so
the workstation and server cannot setup the encrypted channels to pass the
passwords.
Let me know if this helps.
-Jonathan
