password

I have an old pc running win98se, when i try to enter password at login it says "out of range" if i enter an incorrect password it says "incorrect password" if i cancel the login screen, windows starts up but will not let me connect to the internet without the logon password. Any ideas. Thanks.

Hai,

    As said by LucF you can rename or delete the *.pwl file (Resides in %SystemRoot%) folder.If your user name is paulther then the file will be link paulther.pwl.

     Or you can create a new user and logon from that users account.Anyhow the deletionof *.pwl files is not advisabel.Just rename the files thai will do the trick to a diffrent extension.that will do the trick.
