Many may, already, know this...

IF you are the only person accessing your Desktop PC
IF you have no reason to think it could or would be used by another person, certainly not w/out you knowing.
IF it 'demands' a P/W @ Bootup
IF you would rather not bother w/ that...

> cmd (Admin)
Type, control userpasswords2
Hit, ENTER
In the dialogue box, UNcheck the checked box (demands P/W or not)
In the (Name) dialogue box type P/W twice
Clk OK.
Clk OK. (in 1st dialogue box)

Do NOT do this if a laptop or ever, even possibly, a shared PC

Cheers,
Drew

Drew, I think you can also get there when you type netplwiz into Start/search (or Run box) and hit Enter. Works in /7 and /8 - not sure about Vista.

Yes, that is, also, correct. And that is why I put it in both Win7 & 8 Forums.

Both ways do arrive @ the same thing.

Yes, it's the same for Vista.

Thanks for clarifying that.
