Need help with Windows 98 password promtp.

[Jgtdragon]

When I boot into Windows 98 it kept asking me for username and password. Anyone know how I can bypass this? Before I just load directly into desktop.

Thanks in advance.

go into network properties and see if it's set to load with 'client for microsoft networks' or if it's set to 'windows logon'

if it's set to 'client' then you should change it to 'windows logon' and reboot. when it prompts you for user name and password, just put in a user name but NO password...then next time it won't ask you

if it's already set to 'windows logon' , then you should go into control panel..passwords. and (assuming you know the password) change the password to nothing. then, after a reboot, it will prompt you and when you just hit enter (for no password) it will not ask you again

last but not least, if it says 'windows logon' but you do NOT know the password, there are ways of resetting it. let me know and i can tell you how

hopefully this will help

W95 power toys (which can be installed on W98) has an auto login feature. Go to microsoft and get Tweak UI 1.3 and install it, the go into your control panel and then to Tweak UI and thumb through the settings. This works great if you are on a network and have to log in. Keep in mind though this is a HUGE security loop so make sure your computer is secure.
