Cannot connect to Local after change domain password

I have a Developer copy of Sql Server on my XP workstation, which I use to
access the Domain server's Sql Data and a local (name of my workstation) set
of practice data in a seperate sql server registration.
If I change my password on the domain, I can no longer connect to the local
server.
I'm running mixed mode on both with the sa login and a non-blank password.
I uninstalled my local copy of sql server, deleted the registry files I
could find, re-installed sql to a different drive partition, and then it
immediately showed the domain server registration but logon failure to the
local server registration.
I then changed my domain password back to what it used to be and everything
works fine. Problem is, my domain password is compromised and I need to
change it.
How do I clear all the real data about my install or get it to accept my new
authentication?

My problem seems to have gone away after changing my network password back
to the same new one a second time.
As though it took several 'hits' to get sql to recognize the password
change.
