How can I remove windows 7 log in password? Please help.......

[rizu]

Dear members,
I am very new in this forum. Recently I have been trying to remove my windows 7 log in password. But every time I try to remove my password from control panel, a popup window appears saying that

Windows can not remove the password. Password and/or account policies require the account to have a password.

Could you help me out there? I have read a lot of tutorial to auto login the windows 7 . But what I want is to remove the windows password. The account I have been running is probably the administrator account. Hope I could find some help...

Thanks

You have to be the administrator, not probably.

Hi rizu,
i also had such kind of problem with by account. one of my friends mailed me these steps to cure this problem. I would suggest you to follow them and see what happens

• Click on start, right click on computer.
• Click on manage, under local user and groups, click on users.
• Right click on the account you want to delete the password, and click on the properties.
• Check if “User cannot change the password” has a check mark.
• If yes, then uncheck “User cannot change the password” and ok.

please reply me it helped you.
