bypass screensaver password

[t]

Just curious: Is there a way to bypass a screensaver password for XP
without causing too much disturbance like shutting the system down?
The CDRom autoplay is disabled. Normally when entering password of the
XP screensaver, the wallpaper comes back in the background. If
occasionally you don't get the wallpaper but only the password popup
against some background color, it that a sign that the system has been
tampered?

To get rid of the screen saver password.

Right click the Desktop | Properties | Screen Saver tab |
UNSelect the On resume, password protect check box.
If Fast User Switching is turned on, UNSelect the On resume, display Welcome
screen check box. | Click Apply | Click OK

On resume
[[Specifies whether the logon window is displayed when you resume using
the computer after the screen saver has started running. If logging on
requires a password, you will have to type the password when you resume
work.]]

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Well, thanks. I should be clear about the question: I was asking about
bypassing the password while the screensaver is on with the password
protection.

Wouldn't be much point in password protecting it then.
