Default password

Recently went into control panel and double clicked on
password icon. I opened it and added a password. Now I
want to go back to the original state and can't change
find how to delete password. The problem is that everytime
I boot the system the gray box pops up asking for a
password. Even If I don't give a password and hit cancel
it goes to my desktop. Is there anyway to get rid of the
password box when booting. Thx...Lucille

You might find this KB article helpful:-
"How to Prevent a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me Logon Prompt at
Startup"

When it comes to setting up again, then if you no longer want a password,
enter a name but do not enter any password at all, then click OK.
DO NOT "cancel".

HTH and good luck

Mart
