Password request for LAN

I installed a LAN at home. Part of the network setup makes it so that there is a box that comes up at bootup requesting a
password. I don't use a password and just leave the field blank and press enter. Is there a way to bypass that screen and
just let the machine go into a regular windows (95 and 98) boot up?

I couldn't get the tweak ui the way you said but I did get it directly from the win98 disc and it worked on that machine. You've got me half the way there!

Now how do I do it on the win95 machine (that is an OEM system so that I don't have the system disc)? Option 1 is not appealing and I don't think option 2 can be used because my hardware and software made it clear in their setup to use the Client for Microsoft Networks Logon.

Does tweak ui work on win95? When I put the win98 disc into the win 95 machine, it does not recognize that there is a disc in there. Furthermore ,how do I backup from registry file on 95 since there is no scanregw available and the documentation with tweak ui indicates that it can screw up the registry?

Thanks

you can download the win9x power tools from sites such as shareware.com and do what jsilver said in item 3.

the power tools contain tweakui and should work on any win9x platform (NT as well)

Low and behold, option 2 worked on the win95 machine.

I tried the dsazama suggestion to download Itweaku. That did not work like the tweakui worked on my other machine. In their FAQ's the author said that that one function didn't work on his computer either! (I couldn't get tweakui to load on the win95 machine.)

Thank you
