    I used to be smart enough to know how to turn off the "locked" notification that shows upon booting up. It asks me if I am the administrator. I am. That is the only user on my pc. I have to click it every time. Does anyone know how to bypass that? :major

    Go into the control panel / user accounts and remove the password on that account. It leaves you vulnerable, so it is not recommended.

    Tim, I thought I had no password on it to start with, so I double checked. No password at all is there. Now what?

    Part of the problem is I purchased a new pc and I am struggling to familiarize myself with MS 7.

    1. Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard to launch the “Run” dialog box.
    2. Type in control userpasswords2
    3. Press Enter. The User Accounts window will display.
    4. Uncheck the option “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”
    5. Click “OK”
    6. You will then be prompted to enter the current password and confirm it.
    7. After doing so, you will no longer be prompted to enter your password upon login

    That did the trick. Thanks. Theefool, where do you find the remote commands like the one you shared with me?
