do this: 1 - do a search of " *.pwl " files on your c drive (windows directory) 2 - delete any that show up 3- restart windows 4 - when it asks you for a windows password, leave it blank and hit ok 5 - you're done

This doesn't work for me. All that happens is that I still get that crappy password screen, and then the password is nothing. Stupid Microsoft bulls---! This isn't even a real password feature anyways, its only a user profile saver! if i'd have know that i would not have set it up in the first place . damn it.
