I am having problems removing a login screen on windows 98. the computer is set to a domain that the computer is not logging into anymore. I got the computer from a friend and the settings are for his workplace. I am also having problems getting into safe mode to look at the network settings. I click on 'cancel' on the login screen and it it asking me for the domain but there is no domain. Any ideas on how to get rid of the screen and network attributes, would be great.

Right click network neighboorhood then click on properties, double/click microsoft client for network unclick logon to domain.
search for password file *.pwl delete this then reboot. When login screen appears press enter no password then on next reboot you will not be presented with this logon screen again.

Press F8 as computer boots. @ menue choose step by step confirmation. Press n at all network questions. Click cancel @ logon screen. Windows should load. Change network settings and then go to MS DOS mode. @ c: prompt type "del *.pwl". This should solove your logon problem.
