Password Prompt

[eespinosa]

How can I get rid of the window password prompt that shows up during boot-up? I've already searched for .pwl files, but there aren't any. Still, the dreaded password prompt appears? Any ideas? BTW, I'm running Windows95C.

I think that if you change the primary network logon (right mouse on notwork neighbourhood) to something like 'microsoft family member' then you can start the computer without a logon prompt.

If you enter a username and no password when prompted for the first time, it should say 'if you do not enter a password, you will not see this again'.

Alternatively, you could try your existing configuration and enter a new username and just hit OK (no password). See if that worx.

It has been a (thankfully) long time since I had to re-install windoze, so sorry I can't give you an exact answer.

If your ok with regedit i'd recomend this Auto Logon without name or password. (http://www.regedit.com/detail/125.html)

Thanks for the suggestion, guys. I finally got rid of it by clicking ok, then ok again when asked to confirm. All this time I had been clicking on cancel.
