The only way you can log in is by using the local admin account & password -
but even this will not 'restore' anything or give you access to your old
domain profile. You need to bring your laptop back to work and ask the
domain admin to rejoin it to the domain. He or she will need to know the
local admin credentials on the laptop.
Note - you don't need to change to a workgroup just to access resources on
it. You shouldn't play with your laptop's network settings at all. Once
you've logged in using your domain account (using cached credentials), and
have an IP address on the home network, you can map drives, use printers,
whatnot, very easily - one way, in a command line:
net use x: \computername\sharename /user:computername\username <enter>
