The solutions from below are independent from each other and I really hope they will prove to be helpful to you.

Try to log on locally as a local administrator. After that, go in the Network tool of Control Panel, select Change and enter a Workgroup name, leaving the domain. Then restart the computer and log on as a local administrator.
Try to delete the existing computer account in Server Manager, recreate the computer account, synchronize the domain, and then on the client rejoin the domain
Reset the local administrator password and then log off and on as the local administrator to test it. Then change the domain to a workgroup member instead, restart as prompted, log in as the local administrator and then rejoin the domain
Log into the AD, go the AD Domains and Trusts area. Find the domain, right click on it and go to manage. Then find the machine in question under the Computers tab, right click it and then Reset Account. After that, try to logg in the user on the client machine in question
Remove the computer account from AD in the Users and Computers snap-in on your DC or mgmt workstation. Then manually add the computer account from the Users and Computers snap-in on your DC or mgmt workstation. Be careful so that while adding the machine back to AD to enter the domain username of an account that can login the machine as a member of users that can join this computer to the domain.

These fixes are also available for Windows 7 and Windows 10, so be sure to try them:

Insert the original installed version Windows Vista or Windows 7 DVD. Keep in mind that must match the current installation. It won’t work if a Windows Vista x64 installation DVD is used for a Windows Vista x86 installation or vice versa. Same rule on Windows 7.

Reset the computer and boot from the DVD.

Choose option Repair your computer.

Start command prompt.

Type C: or D: (some systems have a recovery partition on C:) and press ENTER.

Type cd WindowsSystem32 and press ENTER.

Type copy Utilman.exe Utilman.exe.bak and press ENTER.
Type copy cmd.exe utilman.exe and press ENTER.

Type exit press ENTER and restart the system.

At the login screen, press the Windows Key + U and fire up cmd.exe window.

Type NET USER and press ENTER. A typical output like this will show:

User accounts for WORKSTATION——————————————————————————-
Administrator ASPNET OwnerGuestThe command completed successfully.

To change the password of the Administrator user, type NET USER Administrator password. Change password to a desirable password, like: 4dm!n123 and press ENTER.

Now, back at the login screen, login as Administrator. If the logon fails with account disabled output, try again with other username. Please refer to step 10 to see other accounts available.

Once inside Windows, right-click on the Computer icon and select Properties. Click on Advanced System Settings and in the System Properties dialog window, select the Computer Name tab and click on Change button. Select Workgroup: in the Member of: section and enter CONTOSO. After applying changes, restart the system.

After system reboots, login again and join the domain CONTOSO doing the same on step 13. Instead of chosing Workgroup, choose DOMAIN. After applying changes, reboot again, and logon with your DOMAIN credentials.
