My computer is running Vista Ultimate and is setup so that a password is
required when it is powered on. Can I change that so I do not have to enter
a password each time

Note: The computer is mine and I have the password. Would just to remove it
as I live alone and have no real need to password protect it at this point?

Thanks

Start\Run and type in the following control userpasswords2 hot OK. When the
window opens remove the checkmark from Users must enter etc etc etc hit Apply and
back out. Reboot
 
Peter,
This looks like it might work for me. I'll have to wait until I get to the
computer to try it.
 
In order to continue booting up I Need to enter the password. I want to
remove this as I am the only one using the computer and honestly, It's a
pain. The only reason I gave it a password is because no where during
installation does it tell you, You don't have too...

I think Peters suggestion will work (have not tried it yet as I am in Boston
and computer is in NY). However, I would like to remove the password I setup
all together, as if it never existed. (Preferably without having to
re-install Vista)...

Is this password "before" the PC boots up or just before Windows
starts?

If this is just before the PC "boots," access the BIOS and turn off
the password

If this is just before the Windows starts up, access the Control
Panel -- > Users and remove the password. Usually the user account
will request the password is this password is not "blank." (Note
"Spacebar" will not remove the password!!!)
