WIN NT Server/Workstation/WIN 2000 Server
Start REGEDT32.EXE and locate the following Registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Establish your domain name, account name, and password, using the values you would normally type when logging on. You should assign the following values:
DefaultDomainName
DefaultUserName
DefaultPassword
NOTE : The DefaultPassword value may not exist. If it doesn't, from the Edit menu, choose Add Value . In the Value Name field, type DefaultPassword . Select REG_SZ for the Data Type . In the String field, type your password, and then save your changes.
Also, if no DefaultPassword string is specified, Windows NT automatically changes the value of the AutoAdminLogon key from 1 (true) to 0 (false), thus disabling the AutoAdminLogon feature.
From the Edit menu, choose Add Value . Enter AutoAdminLogon in the Value Name field. Select REG_SZ for the Data Type, enter 1 in the String field, and then save your changes.
Exit REGEDT32.
Exit Windows NT, and then turn off your computer.
Restart your computer and Windows NT. You should be able to log on automatically.
NOTE : To bypass the AutoAdminLogon process, and to log on as a different user, hold down the SHIFT key after you log off or after you restart Windows NT.
It is also important to note that if the DONTDISPLAYLASTUSERNAME value is set to 1, Autoadminlogon does not function.

Search your PC for files with the extension pwl.
Delete them, then reboot.
When the system comes back up it will give you a login box. Type in a username, but leave the password blank. The next time the machine starts, it will boot straight tothe desktop with no password requested.
