Network password

[Stu Langer]

I recently reloaded Win98 and now I always get the window asking me for my
password before I continues to load Windows. I just can't remember what the
fix is. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

Try Control Panel > Network > Configuration. For the Primary Logon
select Windows Logon.
If no help see this MS article:
How to Prevent a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me Logon Prompt
at Startup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q152104/

Disregard the Q135586 link at the bottom of the MS page, instead if
you have TweakUI:
Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, then
double-click TweakUI. On the Paranoia tab, DO NOT select the Clear
Last User At Logon check box.
That is not for this purpose.

Re: Network password

If you use user profiles, you should use a password. If not, go to control
panel, passwords, user profiles and ensure the "all user's" box is marked.
If you have a password established, go to control panel, passwords, change
windows password, type the password in the old box, leave the rest blank and
OK your way out. If you have forgotten your password, do a find on: *.pwl
and delete the one with your user name; however, you will lose all passwords
stored in the .pwl file. If you do not have a password established or have
deleted the .pwl file, when the W95/98 logon screen appears at boot, type a
user name only and hit OK twice. Go to control panel, network, primary
network logon and select Windows Logon. If the logon screen continues to
appear and you have Tweak UI installed, go to the Paranoia tab and remove
the mark from "clear last user."
