Click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2 In the list of users, select Administrator. Then uncheck the box Users must enter a username and password.......... Click apply. In the next dialog enter the password for that account, if any.
Note: This only works in XP Pro. For XP Home, you can only log into the Administrator account in Safe Mode.

Pauly,
The KB article information is correct, but this can all be done via the GUI as well, without manual editing of the Registry.

I am currently using AutoLogon settings under windows xp pro and having great difficulties with Symantec PC Anywhere. I press and hold the shift key down to bypass the autologon and WindowsXP seems to lock the shift key down and hence you have capitals all the time. Is there anyway of changing the bypass key to 'backspace' or something???
you can reply to the forum or to my email address but remove the '(removethis)'
