GETTING RID OF PASSWORDS
Some of you will have multiple users (maybe all the
members of a family) who use the computer and you don't
mind logging on with different user IDs and passwords so
that you won't mess up each other's Windows setups. But
if there is only a single person using the computer and
you happen to have had your computer set up so that a
user ID and password are required, you no doubt are
tiring of all those extra time-wasting steps. How do you
eliminate them?
Well, first click on the Start button, then choose
Settings in the Start menu, click on Control Panel. Next
double-click the Passwords icon. Now click on the Change
Passwords tab if that's not the window in front. Click on
the button for "Change Windows Password". Up
will pop a screen showing your "old password"
and a field for entering the "new password" and
another field for "confirm new password". Enter
your old password but leave the space for a new password
blank. Click on OK to close the dialog box. You should
now no longer be requested for a name and password.
