Removing a password

[Guest Artreid]

In order to continue booting up I Need to enter the password. I want to

 

remove this as I am the only one using the computer and honestly, It's a

 

pain. The only reason I gave it a password is because no where during

 

installation does it tell you, You don't have too...

 

 

 

I think Peters suggestion will work (have not tried it yet as I am in Boston

 

and computer is in NY). However, I would like to remove the password I setup

 

all together, as if it never existed. (Preferably without having to

 

re-install Vista)...

Is this password "before" the PC boots up or just before Windows

 

starts?

 

 

 

If this is just before the PC "boots," access the BIOS and turn off

 

the password

 

 

 

If this is just before the Windows starts up, access the Control

 

Panel -- > Users and remove the password. Usually the user account

 

will request the password is this password is not "blank." (Note

 

"Spacebar" will not remove the password!!!)
