I have 3 computers with XP pro on them. One of the computers wants me to
give a password (even though we don't use one) and hangs up till I hit
enter, with no word entered, and them boots up normally. How can I get that
system to stop asking for a password?

Thanks for the help, I am still having a problem where it has shut me out
because I am not the Administrator. It keeps asking me for a password and I
never put one in so I don't know one to input. Any ideas?

If you never entered a password during setup, just leave it blank.
