Hi,
I never set up a password while installing me. But every time I
boot-up the computer.It comes up a box with my name and blank
password.
How can I remove this pest box ? It does not allow the computer to
continue booting up.
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

When it comes up, hit Enter. It will only come up if you're online and if
you configure to get rid of it, you won't be signing in -- not recommended.

See MS KB 152104 - "How to Prevent a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me
Logon Prompt at Startup" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=152104).

Basically you need to change to using Windows Logon in Control Panel |
Network. Then when you next log on don't enter a password (leave blank)
and click OK. If you've already allocated a password, logon and then
delete or better rename the password file in the Windows folder - this is
a file whose name is your logon name with a pwl extension.

Don't click Cancel or Escape as this will mean that you don't log on and
are instead what is called the Default User which means you won't be able
to save passwords and have access to certain features.
