Just wanted to reply with a follow-up stating that this worked. Thanks again Wally. -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Clint; Go into the windows folder and delete all files with the .pwl extension. As long as there are any files with that extension with a name different from the one in the registry, the computer will ask for a password. If there are two .pwl files, the computer will ask for a password. With no .pwl files, the next time you boot, the computer will ask you to create a password. Do not type anything. Just hit enter on the blank line to each question. You will not be asked for a password the next time you boot up.
