I have changed my domain name and my page rank went back to no page rank found... Will changing domain names also reset your page rank?

yep because it's a DIFFERENT site.

Setup 301 redirect from your old domain name to the new one and things will improve.
Good luck

Yes of course because the PR reads the domain.

Nope.

PR is assigned to a PAGE or a unique URI.

I would agree to siberforum. Having 301 redirect means telling SEs that the old site has changed and that domainold.com is equal to domainnew.com

better to use 301 redirection, it might not get all the rankings but it'll help..

Yah it will loose PR but do 301 redirection to pass the PR to your new domain.

Correct and with redirect you pour PR from the old page to the same page but with new domain name.
