I am really stuck, i re-installed win 98 because i lost
some system settings, and after it had all finsished i re-
booted and all i get is the screen "enter network
password. first line username second line password and
third line domain. the problem is that i dont know any of
those passwords etc. are there any default passwords etc
to get me back into my desktop or a way to disable the
networking password screen from the bios? please help!
P.s i dont have a network so why is it asking this?

Click on the cancel button to continue booting and then set a blank
password.

Blank Password: Go to control panel, network, primary network logon and
select Windows Logon. Go to control panel, passwords, user profiles and
ensure the "all user's" box is marked. If you have a password established,
go to control panel, passwords, change windows password, type the password
in the old box, leave the rest blank and OK your way out. If you have
forgotten your password, delete the .pwl file with your user name (mine is
ron.pwl); however, be aware that you will lose all passwords stored in the
.pwl file. If you do not have a password established or have deleted the
.pwl file, when the W95/98 logon screen appears at boot, type a user name
only and hit OK. If the logon screen continues to appear and you have Tweak
UI installed, go to the Paranoia tab and remove the mark from "clear last
user."
