Ken:
I followed your instructions (Start, Run, etc) and unchecked the box "Users
must enter a user name.." Oddly, I then got a dialog box telling me to
"...specify a user that will be automatically logged on below." The User
name at this point was "Administrator" and the boxes for Password anc
Confirm Password were blank. I left them blank and clicked Apply. However,
when I rebooted I got an error message "Unable to log you on because of an
account restriction." Behind that error message was, well, the Logiin
Window with the User Name as Administrator and blanks in the boxes for
Password/Confirm Password. I clicked OK without entering any password since
we never created one as far as I know, but got the same error message. I
thought of trying to use my wife's Login (The original Login window--the one
that led me to post this question--contained my hername.) At this point I
don't recall exactly how her name was phrased (Just her first name? First
and Last? Did it include her middle initial?) so I am wary of making another
unwitting mistake with potential long-term consequences--we obviously made
one somewhere in the process of setting up this new computer. Any
recommendations to we can use the computer again?
Does this process actually get rid of the entire logging-in process? Or
does it merely let the process go on out of sight and out of mind? If the
latter, can we forget the user names and passwords (my wife's as well as the
Adminiistrator's) or do we still have to remember them in case they are ever
needed?
