networking password?

I recently had to replace my hard drive--ugghhh. What an ordeal.

When I boot up, it wants my password. I press escape to bypass this but I
recall that I somehow got rid of this completely when I first got my
computer.

Any body know how to get rid of this screen?

Thanks

See MS KB 152104 - "How to Prevent a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me
Logon Prompt at Startup" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=152104).

Basically you need to change to using Windows Logon in Control Panel |
Network. Then when you next log on don't enter a password (leave blank)
and click OK. If you've already allocated a password logon and then
delete or better rename the password file in the Windows folder - this is
a file whose name is your logon name with a pwl extension.

Don't click Cancel or Escape as this will mean that you don't log on and
are instead what is called the Default user which means you won't be able
to save passwords and have access to certain features.
