Want to disable password prompt on Windows ME start up...please help!!! I set up a user (myself) so that I would have to enter a password everytime my PC boots up and prior to Windows ME starting. Now I want it gone as if it never happened and no more asking for passwords. I tried restoring to another point prior. Also, tried disabling a user profile per an instruction I found, but both to no avail. Can anyone help me get rid of this function, I am desperate? I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks so much in advance!!

Change the log on from 'Client for Microsoft Network' to Windows Logon' in the 'control panel' under 'Network'.

The previous post may or may not rid you of your problem. Mine always said Windows Logon and had the same problem you have. Just go into search for files and folders and type: *.*pwl When the results come back delete the password you were using to log on. Re-boot, the password screen may or may not come on. If it does, where it says NAME just put some character in there, I used an the underline character, or if you want, type in your name. DO NOT type in a password. Click OK, on the next reboot the password screen will NOT reappear anymore.

How to get rid of the Windows Logon "Password Prompt" 1. First make sure that you have ENTERED a password to begin with. When you first start up your computer you will see this: This is the Windows logon password prompt Enter your NAME and tap [ENTER] Tap [ENTER] to record a "blank" password Tap [ENTER] again to confirm the "password" If you are sucessful in recording a "BLANK" password you will never see this annoyance again. 2. Changing or Removing an Existing Password Click START Go to SETTINGS Click CONTROL PANEL Double-Click the NETWORK Icon Click the CONFIGURATION tab Under PRIMARY NETWORK LOGON Choose WINDOWS LOGON Click OK You will be prompted to RESTART Click NO Double-Click the PASSWORDS Icon Choose the USER PROFILES tab Click the "radio button" next to the option "ALL USERS OF THIS PC USE THE SAME SETTINGS AND DESKTOP PREFERENCES" Now choose the CHANGE PASSWORDS tab In the CHANGE WINDOWS PASSWORD box: Type your current Windows password in the OLD PASSWORD box Leave the NEW PASSWORD box BLANK Leave the CONFIRM NEW PASSWORD box BLANK Click OK Click OK Click START Click SHUTDOWN Click RESTART If this does not get rid of the PASSWORD PROMPT, If you somehow have more than one PASSWORD, OR if you have FORGOTTEN your PASSWORD do THIS: 3. Deleting a Forgotten Password Click START Go to FIND Click FILES AND FOLDERS (Or Right-Click START>>>Click FIND) SEARCH Drive C for the following: *.pwl This file(s) will probably feature your name (for example mine would be nicks.pwl) THESE .pwl FILES ARE YOUR PASSWORDS. You can delete these with no problem DELETE all .pwl files RESTART your computer When you logon just enter a blank screen as your password. (Do not type ANYTHING...leave the box BLANK)* Tap ENTER Tap ENTER The WINDOWS LOGON SHOULD never reappear Hope this helps!
