how boot to desktop?

[Guest ~Mike Hollywood]

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.

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.

By "enter nothing" I meant leave the password box blank and just click

Return. This will then set the system up as requiring no password, or

rather the password as null.

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".
