Disable Windows 7 log in password

I really need help. I have to walk over to my boss' computer and input the password every time he needs to connect to my computer. This is wasting a lot of time I need to be proficient.

Can somebody help me out?

Thank you for trying, but that did not work. I think I have figured out why the option isn't available to me.

My computer is connected to a LAN File Server which is also set up to be a Domain Controller. I didn't think about it at first but, being logged into a domain changes local user login settings (in XP: having to press ctrl-alt-del every login, etc) even if you are not on a domain account. With Win7, I have no idea how it operates on a DC

Anyways, I don't mind having to input a blank password (this is how everyone elses Win XP computer is set up, which happened when we implemented a domain). But I have Password complexity requirements disallowing a blank password. I know you can change the password complexity on server 2003 (yeah im not up to date :P), but since I'm on a local profile I'm uncertain if it would even be effective.

My guess is I need to change the password complexity requirements in Windows 7. I don't have to worry about security, for everyone at work uses this computer regularly and knows the password.

*edit*
The guy at my work can easily log into the server and change any setting

Since your machine appears to be part of a Domain, the blank password requirements will be very hard (if not impossible) to remove from the Domain.

I would suggest that since you don't mind putting a blank password; that you enter a simple password that complies with the domain policy for passwords, and share the password with your boss so that he can enter it anytime he wants.

I am a 1 user home account, with no log in password (so log in is faster). It seems that Syncback won't run schedules though task manager, because it requires a password. Is there a way to disable this password requirement?

I used the instructions posted by Antman on my first install of win7. It worked.
I think others would like to know that it still works on SP1.
