Could anyone let me know how to remove the password when I restart my machine or it goes into standby. thanks

Standby/Screensaver: R/clik desktop/Settings/Screen Saver/Power/Advanced/Disable "Prompt for Password when computer resumes from Standy"/Apply Click Hibernate tab; Disable "Enable Hibernation"/Apply/OK you way out of the screen. Restart Password: START button /Settings /Control Panel /User Accounts /Change an Account /Administrator /Change My Password; Enter the present password to log in; Make sure all boxes are BLANK (nothing in them) and ok your way out of the screens. This removes all passwords. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime; Then industry pollutes the water and kills all the fish.

To just remove the password, go into Control Panel/User Accounts and remove password. If you want to just start up with the password ready entered (auto logon). Click Start/Run & type 'control userpasswords2' (without the ') press return. In the open box, unselect 'Users must enter.....' Click Apply & in the next box enter the username & password you want to open with. "I know that I'm mad - I've always been mad..."

To disable prompt for password after Windows XP resumes from standby or hibernation: 1. Click Start, Settings, and Control Panel. 2. Double click Power Options. 3. Uncheck the "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby" option. 4. Click Apply and then Ok. i_XpUser
