This doesn't make any sense. If you were able to join the domain, you
must've done this with an account that had admin rights, and that account
should still be available with the same password you used then. What happens
when you try to use the built-in administrator account now?

You can also log in as domain admin (or equivalent) and grant your account
local admin rights - I presume this is now a domain login you wish to use,
right?
