Hey guys, got a problem here. I am trying to network a friend's
sisters computer to a router to gain interenet access on that computer.
The computer is some handmedown old school lab computer running
windows 95. In playing with the network settings, i have accidentally
set up some sort of Windows logon that requires me to enter a username,
password, and domain. Now I cant even get past this logon thing. Is
there anyway to override this logon screen so I can get into windows
and change the logon settings to the way it was before? Or am I just
skrewed? Any and all help will be appreciated. thanks so much - Zach.

Unless "Policies" are set, you can usually just hit escape or click on
Cancel to open Windows 95. The setting you want to change is Start,
Settings, Control Panel, Network: in the lower part, change the default
logon to "Windows Logon". When you reboot, it may again ask for a password
(but no Domain), leave the password blank and click on OK. If it says
invalid password, change the name and again leave the password blank.
Confirm the empty password as necessary. Future reboots should not ask for
a password.
