Removing Password Prompt at Bootup

Hi,
I recently installed a hdd. I used the system restore CD rom (Win98).
Now, everytime I boot up, I get a prompt that has a user name and an empty
slot for a password. I don't want to use a password, so I clicked
"cancel", the next time (bootup) I tried pressing Enter with no password.
Everything I tried did not work. What must I do to get rid of this prompt?

Thanks in advance, Brad

Before you type your password, credit card number, etc.,
be sure there is no active key logger (spyware) in your PC.

Go to start, settings, control panel,
passwords,and change windows password.
Type in your password leave the rest,
[new password] blank and hit ok.
Hope this helps.

It's a little more involved than that, see Richards response.

Try this, the next time you boot read the "tip" don't
type anything and just hit OK instead of cancel, then
reboot directly. The password dialogue box should not
reappear. If it does--I think I have had to use a KB
(konwledge base) article to edit my registry or my .ini
files.
