So I wanted to bypass that annoying XP login password window (and have my PC boot up to Windows immediately after I power on & walk away for a few minutes). An article on the internet tells me to go to the control panel > user accounts > remover user password > ok > close. I ever restarted my PC just to save these settings. Now, my PC still presents me with the same pre-XP password login window (and when I enter my previous password, it does not accept it & allow me into Windows). I tried going into the bios (but did not see anything there to reset this). Mind you, when I tried the above advice, it never prompted me for a NEW password (so why ask for it)? There are web articles on how to disable all this AFTER in windows. How do I get around my problem if I cannot even get to the XP control panel or start screen? Pissed!

Try doing a System Restore from Safe Mode. Keep Smiling It makes them think you're up to something...

Try pressing enter on the password field, in effect a blank password. Stuart
