Go into the Display Properties under Control Panel. At the screensave tab uncheck the password box. This removes the password. Now recheck the box and enter a new password if you want.

If it's the Windows screensaver.
When you boot up the screensaver isn't on yet. Just right somewhere in an empty space on the desktop and select properties.
Choose the screen saver tab select none for none for the screen saver then apply.

A. Windows passwords are designed to keep the "casual" user out. The password is stored, encrypted, under its own section in the CONTROL.INI file.

[ScreenSaver]

Password=h~W. < encryption for Password=BEAR

If a user forgets the password,you may simply delete the encrypted portion of the line:

[ScreenSaver]

Password=

NOTE: Anytime you edit a Windows configuration file (usually ending with INI, such as CONTROL.INI), be sure to make a backup copy first, just in case. That way, if it doesn't work, you can always use the backup.

Get to DOS and find the file for the screen save and delete it. I suppose you could also delete the screen savers and an error would occur.
