any way to log on without the password?

[Sylvan Wood]

I'll be away from the pc for a week. Since I'm running two
servers from it, I have them set up to start whenever the pc
reboots. The problem is, xp requires that a password be entered
on bootup.

Is there something I can do to disable the password requirement?
The pc is in a secure location, so that's not a problem.

Hi Sylvan,

Start/run control userpasswords2

Uncheck the box requiring a username and password, click apply/ok and follow
the prompts to set up a default logon.
