Windows logon screen
I have just installed Windows ME after I was having some
problems with it. I did a clean format of the hard drive and then installed the operating system. However, from the time after that, everytime I restart the computer, it asks me for a password. I do not remember the password and am pretty sure that I haven't specified any password. I just want to get rid of that password box when the Windows ME starts itself up. How do I do that? Please help me. |

Windows logon screen
See MS KB 152104 - "How to Prevent a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows
Me Logon Prompt at Startup" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=152104). Basically you need to change to using Windows Logon in Control Panel | Network. Then when you next log on don't enter a password (leave blank) and click OK. If you've already allocated a password logon and then delete or better rename the password file in the Windows folder - this is a file whose name is your logon name with a pwl extension. Don't click Cancel or Escape as this will mean that you don't log on and are instead what is called the Default user which means you won't be able to save passwords and have access to certain features. --?
