Default Getting rid of 98 password

i deleted the user.pwl file and have gone in to control
panel to be sure the profile stuff is gone. but the stupid
thing keeps asking me for a password when it starts up. it
has my name in the first box and nothing in the second. i
just hit cancel what a huge pain this is when i just the
thing to start up while i continue my morning routine then
to come back and find it's still sitting at the password
screen. there is no password to type in. someone else told
me this was a bug in win 98 is that true?

No it is not a bug. Is it asking for a
Windows, Client, or a Microsoft Password.

Follow the complete procedure in the article above....you are clicking Cancel....do
not do that. Leave the password blank and click OK.
