Start Orb>Search box>type: netplwiz [enter]
Click on Continue (or supply an administrator's password) when prompted by
UAC

Uncheck the option "Users must enter a user name and password to use this
computer". Select a user account to automatically log on by clicking on the
desired account to highlight it and then hit OK. Enter the correct password
for that user account (if there is one) when prompted. Leave it blank if
there is no password (null).

Hi,
Is there a way to eliminate the password you have to enter when you start
Vista? There is an icon with a password opening below it.
Thanks, Jim

In "User Accounts" you can change the password to blank

So why would you want to? How much time would it save? About 3 seconds? What
can you do in THREE seconds?
And there's the security implications as well.
