Hi,
It seems that your password of your local computer is not working. You can
try to use empty password or contact any of your colleagues or the network
administrator about it because the installer may have been using the same
password for local administrator account on all the computers (especially
when they have many to install, they will use automatic installation kits
and answer files). Other options will be to reinstall the operating system
or to hack it with some tools. That could be very messy usually.
To update the profile, you can use the steps on the following page.

If you are using a roaming profile, and you get that error message again
after you log on to the domain, you may need to contact the network
administrator for a check on the network connection and user account
settings on the server. To see whether you are using roaming profile, open
Control Panel->System and Maintenance->System and click on the Advanced tab.
Click on the Settings button in the User Profiles section and you will see
the list of profile. The status of the current profile shows you whether it
is on the server or the local computer.
