Default How do I remove the start-up password?

Since I'm the only person who uses this laptop (Windows XP Business
Edition) I would like to just turn it on and have it start Windows
without prompting me for a password. Right now the password is null
but I have to click on "Go" (or whatever the prompt is) without
entering anything.

I am the only user as well as the administrator.

Thanks, Tom




Go to START | RUN. Type in:

control userpasswords2

In the resulting window, uncheck the box that requires users to log-in
and note the exact spelling of the principle users name. In the next
window, type in that users name in place of "Administrator". If
required, then put in the user's password. Now when you startup, you
will still see the word "Welcome" but the computer will go directly to
your desktop when all startup programs are complete.


Bruce, I did exactly what you said and I'm locked out of Windows. When
I attempt to log on I get the following error message:

The system could not log you on. Make sure your user name and domain
are correct. Then type your password again. Letters in passwords must
be typed using the exact case.

Then I can not go any further. All windows will let me do is shut down.

Thanks, Tom

In oder to be able to Autologon the account must be password protected,
I'm not sure why the system even let you configure the unprotected
account for Autologon.

At the logon screen try hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del *twice* and see if you can
logon normally, if you can't try loging on to Safe Mode.

I suspect that you forgot to change the user name to your logon name,
by default the "control userpasswords2" program puts the Administrator in the user name slot and you
have to change it back to your name before clicking the "next" button.

When I reboot and press F8 the menu that comes up only presents two
choices: Windows XP and IBM Recovery. As far as I know, the latter
will get me in to IBM Rescue and Recovery. And since I haven't saved my
current C drive to an external drive since I began the setup process
three days ago, I don't think I can use IBM Recovery.

I also tried Ctrl+Alt+Del *twice* and I might as well have peen pushing
on the Page Down key. It totally ignored me.

I see that you have access to another computer. Download Knoppix or Ubuntu from
Linux and then boot your system with it and correct the issue as described by John

Some of these machines use the F5 key instead.


I also tried Ctrl+Alt+Del *twice* and I might as well have peen pushing

Try holding the Shift key when Windows restarts, this should bypass the
automatic logon and present you with a logon screen. Or try Alt+Tab
when you get the "could not log on..." error message.

If these don't work you will have to remotely edit the registry and
change the Winlogon AutoAdminLogon value to 0 The value is at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Easy to follow instructions for remotely editing the registry:

Another problem is that you apparently don't backup your system.

Once you've sorted out your current difficulty, you'll want to learn
about making a disk image. With this type of backup, you could have been
back in business in minutes. Imaging has a learning curve, I'll admit
that, but it's very, very worthwhile.

Popular imaging programs mentioned in this newsgroup include Acronis
True Image, Norton Ghost and Paragon Partition Manager.

You have to get in the SAFE Mode where the Administrator is one of the logon choices.
If continuously tapping the F8 key (as soon as you power on) then you will need some professional
help.

I ended up spending my hard earned money and getting help from
Microsoft. It was money well spend and I was back on line in no time.
She also showed me how to change the system to bypass the windows logon
prompt. It was money well spent.

Which of these did you use?

Automatic Logons:
------
Microsoft method:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315231
(Essentially the same... but different place:
http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/13/ )


Microsoft Method 2:
TweakUI from:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx


control userpasswords2 method:
1) Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.
2) Type in the following:

control userpasswords2

now click OK
3) In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the
primary logon.
Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." box.
4) Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the selected
users password.
Click OK when you are done...
------

Hopefully that gets you where you are wanting to be.

It is a *good* thing in the user arena to:
1) Have strong passwords.
2) Have more than one administrator level account (with strong passwords).

| | | Since I'm the only person who uses this laptop (Windows XP Business
| | | Edition) I would like to just turn it on and have it start Windows
| | | without prompting me for a password. Right now the password is null
| | | but I have to click on "Go" (or whatever the prompt is) without
| | | entering anything.
| | |
| | | I am the only user as well as the administrator.
| | |
| | | Thanks, Tom
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | | Go to START | RUN. Type in:
| | |
| | | control userpasswords2
| | |
| | | In the resulting window, uncheck the box that requires users to log-in
| | | and note the exact spelling of the principle users name. In the next
| | | window, type in that users name in place of "Administrator". If
| | | required, then put in the user's password. Now when you startup, you
| | | will still see the word "Welcome" but the computer will go directly to
| | | your desktop when all startup programs are complete.
| | |
| | | Bruce, I did exactly what you said and I'm locked out of Windows. When
| | | I attempt to log on I get the following error message:
| | |
| | | The system could not log you on. Make sure your user name and domain
| | | are correct. Then type your password again. Letters in passwords must
| | | be typed using the exact case.
| | |
| | | Then I can not go any further. All windows will let me do is shut down.
| | |
| | | Thanks, Tom
| |
| |
| | Actually I did do that.
|
| You have to get in the SAFE Mode where the Administrator is one of the logon choices.
| If continuously tapping the F8 key (as soon as you power on) then you will need some
professional
| help.

| I ended up spending my hard earned money and getting help from
| Microsoft. It was money well spend and I was back on line in no time.
| She also showed me how to change the system to bypass the windows logon
| prompt. It was money well spent.

Would you like to share the help that Microsoft gave you on how to bypass the windows logon prompt?
