This was driving me nuts until last night when I found out how to get rid of the Windows password. Of course I get an email from Tip World today and the first article is how to do it. So thought I would pass it along since they say they get the question all the time. "When I installed Windows 98, I accidentally typed a password in the Welcome To Windows dialog box. How do I delete the password so this dialog box doesn't show up and I don't have to log in anymore?" We can't begin to tell you how many requests we get for this tip: Start Windows and log in using your user name and password. Open the Control Panel, double-click Passwords, and on the Change Passwords tab, click the Change Windows Password button. On the Old Password line, type your password. Press Tab to move down to the New Password line, then press Enter (to enter no password). A dialog box will appear to tell you your password has been successfully changed. Click OK, click Close, and that Welcome To Windows dialog box won't bother you again."
