Re: How to delete Windows password

I reinstalled XP on my PC. It now has a windows password screen on startup. There is no password, so clicking OK passes this. How can I eliminate this screen?

Terry



Try Start->Run
then type in
control userpasswords2
and then OK
Uncheck the "users require login and password" box.


See if this helps.
