To delete your Microsoft .NET Passport information from your computer\nWhen you click the Sign me in automatically check box when signing in to .NET Messenger Service, your .NET Passport name and password are stored on your computer. This allows Windows Messenger to sign you in automatically. You can delete this information to prevent being signed in automatically.\n\nOn Windows XP Professional:\n\nClick the Start button, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts. \nClick the Advanced tab, and then click Manage Passwords. \nIn Stored User Names and Passwords, click Passport.Net&#92;*, and then click Remove. \nThis does not delete your .NET Passport, but it prevents automatic sign-ins.\n\nClick Close, and then click OK. \nOn Windows XP Home Edition:\n\nClick the Start button, click Control Panel, and then click User Accounts \nClick the picture that is associated with your account. \nUnder Related Tasks, click Manage my network passwords. \nIn the Stored User Names and Passwords dialog box, click Passport.Net&#92;*(Passport), and then click Remove. \nClick OK, and then click Close. \nopen logon switch manual log in login change modify alter manual manually prevent keep

I'm going to take a guess that either you are running XP Home with the defaults, or you are running XP Pro and turned on the logon using menu options.\n\nThe administrator id is set up by default during XP installation, and does not appear as a user on the menu.  However, don't delete it.\n\nIn the event you screw up your id (assuming it's "owner") and it won't log on, you can boot into Safe mode and sign on as administrator (the password is normally blank unless you either changed it or set it during installation) and add a new userid.

I know of a way, but I woult not even bother to tell you that, unless to get points here.\n\nIts very dangerous to mess with those system files. You might screw up the system. It was a little safe with Windows 95/98 and the ME, but now with XP I never tried it but can expect results to be devastating if something goes wrong.\n\nhttp://www.theeldergeek.com/change_text_on_xp_start_button.htm

What operating system? For xp home you *must* start in safe mode to get to the administrator account (hit F8 while windows is starting up to get the option to start in safe mode) If it's xp pro you can either do the safe mode way, or press ctrl+alt+delete twice at the welcome screen to bring up a different logon screen where you can type in Administrator as the user, and your administrator password, if any.

Don't login for about a month, yahoo shall automatically delete it.\nTill then and for future create a new account.\nIf there is a problem, it isn't comming out of what you asked. Please provide details.\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------\nIf you are talking about a computer account in Windows XP then try this: -\nWhenever there comes the logon screen, type "Administrator" and press enter.\nNOTE: If your way of logon is through a welcome screen then press ctrl+alt+del. Then write what I said above.\nLet the account be properly logged in and be sure that there isn't any other account running behind, if so, close them.\nRight-click on 'my computer', goto properties.\nFollow the advanced tab, 'user profile' row and press settings button.\nSelect the profile you want to delete, press delete.\nDONE! ENjoY!!        ;-)

For Windows XP SP2:\n\nAt control panel, go to Windows Firewall, and click on the "Off (not recommended) option. I do hope the reason you're turning this off is that you have a 3rd party firewall either hardware or software. :o

You have to do this: REMEMBER you must have administrator priveleges. \n\n   1. You need to Login as Administrator. To have access to security tab\n\n   2. If you are using Windows XP PRO,  you must disable Simple File Sharing.\n\n   3. Right-click the folder/file that you want to take ownership of, and then click Properties.\n\n   4. Click the Security tab, and then click OK on the Security message (if one appears).\n\n   5. Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.\n\n   6. In the Name list, click your user name, or click Administrator if you are logged in as Administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of that folder, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box.\n\n   7. Click OK, and then click Yes when you receive the following message:\nYou do not have permission to read the contents of directory folderName. Do you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you Full Control?\nAll permissions will be replaced if you press Yes.\n\n   8. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.\n\n\nWorked with me a while ago, Good Luck. If you need anyhelp let me know.

If you can login to safe-mode (by clicking F8) when the computer turns on and logging in as Administrator and going that route.\n\nHowever, if you cannot login as administrator, search the internet for Hirens Boot CD and make a disc. The hirens disc as numerous usefull utilities including a password reset for XP. Good Luck!

You can only unistall it if you installed it as an "upgrade installation", otherwise you'll have to reinstall from scratch.\n\nIf you did install it as an "upgrade installation", then you can uninstall it by starting in "safe mode" and going to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>select Windows XP.

* Open Control Panel, and double-click on the Network icon.\n    * From the list entitled Primary Network Logon:, choose Windows Logon, and press OK.\n\n    * Note: If this doesn't work, make sure you didn't initially configure a password for yourself. If you did, Windows 98 will always require it. Double-click on the Passwords icon in Control Panel to choose nothing (leave it blank) for your password.

Try\n"Start - Settings - Control panel - User Accounts - Advanced"\nFirst of all , do you see all of the user acccounts there?\nSelect the first user account then select the ":Advanced" tab.\nMake sure the little box that says "Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete"\ndoes have a check in it. Then click "Apply" & "OK". This needs to be checked for EACH user account!\n\nOr, possibly...\nClick Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2, and then click OK. In the dialog box that appears, enable Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer check box, and then click OK.\n\nIt sounds like someone may have set you up with a Default User name and Password.\n\nIf neither of these helps you, try this...\nClich "Start - Run" and type (or paste) this into the box\n\nrundll32 netplwiz.dll,ClearAutoLogon\n\nThen click O-K.\n\nThere is a way to go into the registry and clear this manually, but I'm telling you right now, you do this at your own risk.\nWhat I tell you will be 100% accurate, but If you make any one single simple mistake, you will be breaking your own computer. Don't blame me!\n\n\nOpen Registry Editor (Start - Run - "regedit" and OK) and navigate to: \n\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE &#92; Software &#92; Microsoft &#92; WindowsNT &#92; CurrentVersion &#92; Winlogon\n\nDelete the DefaultPassword entry. \n\nDouble-click AutoAdminLogon, type 0 in the Value Data box, and then click OK.
