lnjr, Try this, Start, Settings, Control Panel, Passwords, Change Windows Password.. (button) Type the old password, and leave the other two blank. Click OK If you do get a login prompt, after this. Click OK, and it shouldn't return. Good Luck

Hello, I did go to passwords and the box that pops up has just the one tab - user profiles. the option - all users of this computer use the same preferences and desktop settings. The pop up box for the login when I first start the computer does not have any user name or password typed in and I never entered one. I just keep hitting the cancel button everytime I start my computer. Any other suggestions would be Greatly Appreciated. Thanks

lnjr, :-) The reason why, you can't change the password, is because you haven't made one yet. Ok lnjr, by chance does it say something on that login popup. Like, if you leave the password empty, and click OK. You wont be prompted for a password at startup. :-) I think, I said something to that affect in my last post. Just put anything in User Name:, and leave the password box empty. Then click OK. It shouldn't come back. You're Welcome, I’ll Try

To avoid a "log-on name/password" when prompted simply click on CANCEL. When you get to the main screen go to start-settings-taskbar-advanced-and UNCHECK DISPLAY LOGOFF. Since your in the correct place look down a bit futher into the TASKBAR SECTION check BOTH boxes there. TA-DA sheesh. For the record there is no "security type" logon to windows in windows me because if someone wants on the machine as I said all ya have to do is click on CANCEL and their in/on your computer. There is no cure for that PERIOD. If your smart you'll not change the "In the Passwords applet it is already set to “All users of this computer use the same preferences and desktop settings.” Area unless you have more people useing the computer and desire their own set of blah blah blah everything. I urge you to avoid useing the "CLIENT FOR MICROSOFT NETWORK" keep it on Windows. I havent the time to explain at the moment, and you probally wont be checking back at yer post anyways. Hope this helped. C-YA! Oops ment to say also no user name or password is nessary as Windows ME will just use the "default" and or "all-user's" your better off leaveing it just like that!

"For the record there is no "security type" logon to windows in windows me because if someone wants on the machine as I said all ya have to do is click on CANCEL and their in/on your computer. There is no cure for that PERIOD" For the true record, you are wrong xcks. That's if you know how to set it up. But, you're the intelligent one, you know this xcks. "To avoid a "log-on name/password" when prompted simply click on CANCEL" That's not avoiding it (log-in popup). That just circumvented the password. But, if you want to, you can make that unavoidable. You will have to enter a password, or windows will NOT load(start) Sorry JW, had too

Hello, Just want to say thank you for your assistance. However, the steps that actually resolved my problem / got rid of the logon box were as follows (just in case someone else has the same problem) I went to start/search/files & folders. Entered *.pwl in the search term (advanced options - search subfolders) When "FIND" found the .pwl files I deleted the one titled 000.pwl. I restarted Windows and there was a different password box. I entered my name, but I did not enter a password. Clicked on OK and Windows completed the startup. Now when I start up my computer I no longer get any type of password/logon boxes. Thanks for your assistance.
