One Way: When you try to log-on or connect to a computer and you receive an error stating: "the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed," don't panic. In order to fix this problem, you remove the workstation from the domain by accessing it with a local administrator account and then rejoining it to the domain.
Step by step:
* Log-on on locally to the workstation with a local administrator account.
* Right click "My Computer" and select properties
* XP: Select the tab Computer name
VISTA / Windows 7: Select change settings next to the computer name
* Click on Change
* Change the Member of selection to WorkGroup and enter anything you like
* Click OK
* in the The computer must restart prompt click OK
* back in the computer name tab click on change again
* Change the Member of selection to domain and enter the domain name
* Click OK
* enter the credentials of the users which is permitted to join the computer to the domain
* in the The computer must restart prompt click OK
* back in the computer name tab click OK
* on the restart computer prompt click restart now.
When the computer is restarted the problem should be gone.
Another Way:
Actually there is another way you can do this without losing your credential to the domain controller or having to copy all the files to a new user since chances are it might happen because it might see the PC as a new PC ( Maybe ) try the same steps but use the NETWORK ID option right above CHANGE under the system properties and follow the steps. This way it will noticed that the computer you are joining has the same name as one on the domain and it will ask you to if you would like to use the same name. Go ahead and say YES and it will rejoin the computer or laptop back to the domain fixing the connection to the domain and not making any changes to the computer or the users already in the computer. If you remove the computer from the domain and rejoin it you might have to recreate all the accounts and copy all the files in all the different locations of each user. This step will fix the connection issue without make any changes to the computer and this is what you want, not extra work.
So what do you do when you can't even log on as the local admin? I tried the two admin accounts that I have, the standard Administrator and another.
If you can't login as a domain user or local admin and can't access the box remotely then it's time to give up. If the drive(s) contain data you want to keep then I would put in a different hard drive, re-install the OS, and then try to mount the drive(s) and recover data. when ever my computer should break down for any reason i call a computer tech out to have them work on it to get me back up and running

...if you don't want to run the risk of losing some security credentials. When you leave and rejoin the domain you are no longer in the same machine account. The simple fix is to log in as a local admin and from the command prompt type:
netdom.exe resetpwd /s:<x.x.x.x> /ud:<AccountName> /:pd*
Where <x.x.x.x> is address of a domain controller and <AccountName> is a domain account.
You will be prompted for the password for the account you used and 2 seconds later the job is done. You do not need to reboot just log off your local admin and carry on. Your machine password will have been reset and trust restored.
