When I upgraded to become the domain controller the signon screen for administrator appears but the password won't work. How can I revert back to way it was before I promted it?

Hi,
Do you remember the password for directory service restore mode which
you provided while promoting to DC
If yes then boot the computer Directory service restore mode and login
there
then use DCpromo to demote it back to member server
if you dont remember the that password
there is no way i can suggest


Note :
====
to boot to DS Restore mode
Press F8 to boot advance option (similar to safemode)
