if on win 9x and not on a domain, just enter a new user name in the logon box.
if the logon box does not come up, do a search for *.pwl files an delete them. The logon box will popup at next boot.
if you want to change the username the key is: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion] "RegisteredOwner"="Me"
