| 28035 | 2001-12-19 10:22:00 | I can't be sure it will work in Win98 or not, but certainly will work on Win2000. I suppose you are talking about the log on thingy when your computer loads your Win98. Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, and then scroll down to the bottom, and you should be about to find Users and Passwords. If you can't find something like that, which controls the log on when you turn on your computer. So if you can find Users and Passwords, in the Users tab, uncheck the box for users must enter a user name or password..... Then, click Apply to make sure you got it right, and then click OK. Then it should be all right! | Guest (0) | ||

| 28039 | 2001-12-19 11:41:00 | Thanks Mike that all makes sense, one small problem, I appear to have forgotton the password :{ | Guest (0) | ||
| 28040 | 2001-12-19 12:29:00 | Try going: Start,Search, and type in '*.pwl' That will bring up your password files. U can then select your current one and rename it by changing the file extension to .old That should clear your password at login time so you can then click 'OK' without entering one. | Guest (0) | ||
