Guest ~Mike Hollywood Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Hi, I have a pc ME that stops to get a password every time it boots. I want it to boot to the desktop, but so far I have not been able to do so. I switch the network thing to windows login, and I also searched for a pwl file to delete, but there was no pwl file on the PC. The PC runs fine, it just always stops for a password, and there isn't any password. Any ideas much appreicated. Mike PS: I searched around via google and microsoft's web site but couldn't find out how to do this.
Guest Mike M Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Re: how boot to desktop? Rather than cancelling when Win Me asks for a password enter nothing in the box and then click Return. This should now stop you being asked for a password each time you boot the system. -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com ~Mike Hollywood <bogus@nowhere.org> wrote: > Hi, > I have a pc ME that stops to get a password every time it boots. > I want it to boot to the desktop, but so far I have not been able to > do so.

This will then set the system up as requiring no password, or rather the password as null. -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com

Guest Mike M Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 Re: how boot to desktop? Clear the password then next time don't enter one. Never hit cancel or X out as you are then not logged in properly and many settings won't "stick". -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com ~Mike Hollywood <bogus@nowhere.org> wrote: > It didn't work. still stops at the login screen.
