Windows logon password ?

[John Mc]

Hi All

I've just reinstalled AOL to a friends pc, but now when i boot the machine
Windows (XP) asks for my password, but i've never set one ?
If i leave it blank and just press enter it continues to load Windows.
However, next time i reboot the logon screen reappears.

How do i set Windows to bypass this and just logon as me (the only user profile) ?



Thanks
John

Hi

If you want to Autologon onto Windows:

Download TweakUI from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx and
when installed go to Programs>Powertoys for Windows XP>Tweak UI - then go to
Logon>Autologon

Try this:

Start > Run > control userpasswords2

Remove the check mark next to
Users must enter a user name and pasword to use this computer.
