Password required for booting

R

Roman King

I am only the user for my computer (WinXP Pro).
Whenever I boot my computer, the screen shows my login name.
Then, I got to type in my password.
Could someone advise me how to bypass the password screen.
TIA. Roman

Do not use control userpasswords2 to create accounts if you are using XP
Home!!!

Note When users try to display help information in the User Accounts window
in Windows XP Home Edition, the help information is not displayed.
Additionally, users receive the following error message:

Cannot find the Drive:\Windows\System32\users.hlp Help file. Check to see
that the file exists on your hard disk drive. If it does not exist, you must
reinstall it.
