XP Pro - can't log in

I have a friend who has just phoned in a panic.
He has an ex-company laptop which was linked to a domain, and he logged in (ctl/alt/delete and then userid and password to domain).
He changed the settings from a domain to a workgroup, and the laptop restarted.
All attempts to log in have failed because (I assume) the userid/password are related to the domain not the workgroup.
I had him try safe mode, and also to go back to last known good state, but in both cases when it starts up it still asks for userid/password.
He does not have any XP CDs, and the company are no more - so can't get the admin password.
Is there any way to get in behind to reset to domain.
