disable password box at start up

Remove the microsoft network client or netware network client form control/network
then reboot the computer.

this should help you

Under Windows 98 SE, it is designed to go away if you enter in a blank password. This does not always work, however, if you have ever set one up. If this is the case, you can often force it to work by deleting .pwl files in the Windows directory (doa search for *.pwl in explorer, they may be in a subdirectory).

If neither of these work, you can disable the logon in the registry. I do not have the exact setting for this, but you should be able to find it on either support.microsoft.com or msdn.microsoft.com.

I hope this helps.
