I have a Win 98 client that displays a "REMEMBER PASSWORD" at the bottom of the network logon dialog box. It is by default checked, resulting in the fact that one doesn't need to provide a userid nor password when launching that particular client. It runs through the network logon process without stopping and a Windows logon box pops up, the user simply puts in their user id and they are connected to the network. If anyone knows how to get rid of this, and force the client to go through the appropriate steps for network authentication, I would appreciate hearing from you. I am out of ideas. Thanks.

Best way is to delete the password list.

Go to the Windows directory and look for all of the *.pwl files. Simply delete the ones that involve the user names that clicked "remember password" and you're golden.

What kind of network is it you are logging on to? Is it client for Microsoft networks or another?

It seems that you didn't setup this win98 WS yourself. Looks like someone use the Win98 Tweak UI utility to do this automatic logon process. Solution is MYCOMPUTER/CONTROL and double click on Tweak UI icon and click on Network and you will see what I mean. If there is no Tweak UI get it from the
win98 CD. I think it is in the powertools directory. Good luck.

I mean MYCOMPUTER/CONTROLPANEL then look for the Tweak UI icon.

Did you check the type of network that you are logging into.
Right click on network neighborhood
click on properties
Under the Primary Network Logon it should have Client for Microsoft Networks

If you can not change to this option you will have to add it in the top panel.
To do this click the add button select client. Then select microsoft and the click on Client for Microsoft Networks.
You will have to reboot when you make the change or add the client.

Hope this helps
