Very many thanks to you Homer for your simplest suggestion. I carried it
out and was able to delete any reference to a password.which my neighbour
now wished as there is no need in her household to have this safeguard.

There is another reason to have passwords. The Windows Task Scheduler,
which is used by many apps such as backup and virus scan utilities, by
default, requires a password on the local account to actually run scheduled
tasks. You can defeat this behaviour, but it's there for a security
reason.

So you might want to check that the scheduled backups (there are backups,
yes?) and virus scans have actually been running.

If you are trying to login with a USER account and not the ADMIN account,
then you can reset the password.

Boot up in safe mode, and log in as the local administrator (this is
assuming they have not put a password on the admin account) then go to
Control Panel, Users and remove the users password. Reboot and login as
user, then re-assign a new password to the user.

My neighbour has a new PC and her daughter installed the software
including a password.
I was asked to help her install the printer which I did and when I
restarted the PC the screen appeared asking for the Password.
My neighbour duly filled in the password but it was rejected.
After numerous attempts there was no success. I tried all sort of
changes such as capitals in place of lower case etc.
The odd thing is she successfully used her password before I appeared to
install the printer.
What I want to know is how do I get the window with the start menu so
that I can change the settings to have no password.?
