Default Logon


List
I know this question has been asked before, but I wish to bypass the logon
password when I start my computer. I have no need for any security.

I have tried using the "control userpasswords2" trick, but it still asks for
a password, in fact when I start the computer, it displays the logon screen,
and asks for the password for "Administrator", which I don't have as it
refuses to allow me to logon under that name, when I change the password to
AJ, it allows me to logon.

When I activate the "control userpasswords2", I have 4 users for this
computer,
1 Administrator
2 AJ
3 ASPNET
4 Guest.

Is it possible to delete all except the user AJ?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

1. No
2. Obviously you want to keep this one
3. Yes
4. No, but you can disable it.

Have you got TweakUI installed?
