Windows Tip: Forget the Windows Password

Never see the Windows password screen again.

Does your computer at home ask for your user identification every time you start it up? If you are the single user of a home computer, you probably don't need to see the logon screen every time you boot up.

Turn off password protection

Open the Network Control Panel.
Make sure the Windows logon is selected, not the Microsoft network logon.
Restart your computer.
When the logon window comes up, enter a name (it doesn't matter what name you pick), leave the password blank, and hit return.
When it asks you to confirm that blank password, hit return again.
