Bypassing login passwords

I have no need to protect my computer with a login
password, and once figured out how to bypass this process
altogether. But I can't figure out how to do it again.
Cansomeone remind me? I also have the same question for
Win XP.

Ask XP questions in an XP newsgroup so you get the best possible advice.

For W98:

Go to control panel, network, primary network logon and select Windows
Logon. Go to control panel, passwords, user profiles and ensure the "all
user's" box is marked. If you have a password established, go to control
panel, passwords, change windows password, type the password in the old box,
leave the rest blank and OK your way out. If you have forgotten your
password, delete the .pwl file with your user name (mine is ron.pwl);
however, be aware that you will lose all passwords stored in the .pwl file.
If you do not have a password established or have deleted the .pwl file,
when the W95/98 logon screen appears at boot, type a user name only and hit
OK. If the logon screen continues to appear and you have Tweak UI
installed, go to the Paranoia tab and remove the mark from "clear last
user."
