This may be a stupid question but I'd like to know up front. Say you've got
a password on your Admin Account and then later decide to remove the
password. That is, require no password. How do you change it to NO PASSWORD
NEEDED?

Do you simply change it to blanks?

Thanks for the answer. The laugh is on me.

Again thanks,

I'm not laughing at you. It's a legitimate question. Yes, you just change
the password to blanks.

Thanks Marian Routh:

I did a simple test with a user account I didn't care about. I created a
password then changed it to all blanks and saw that MS treated blank
passwords as no password essentially. Once you have created a password XP
gives you the option of "removing" the password. I was having pre-nightmares
that Microsoft was going to cough on a simple situation but the guys at
Redmond did think about this case.
