On the initial setup for Windows Vista, you're asked for a password to link with your account. Every time after, on startup, you're asked to enter the password before you can begin. This can be a great protection for business computers, or computers with multiple users (especially parents with a separate account for their children).
1) Click on the Control Panel (Start - > Control Panel)
2) Click User Accounts/Family Safety (If your control panel is in classic view, you won't see this; so you'll go directly to the next step)
3) Click the User Accounts option.
4) Look for the section called “Make Changes to User Account.”
5) Click “Remove Password” for your account username
At this point, for security purposes, you'll need to re-enter your password.
6) Confirm you are deleting your account password by clicking “Remove Password.”
7) Close the window.
8) Shut down your computer safely (via Start - > Shutdown).
9) Turn the computer back on, and voila! No password necessary!
BE AWARE: When you delete your account password, you are making it accessible to anyone who can reach the power button. This means all of your files, your documents, your emails, everything. If you are in a secure location (home, etc) and don't expect to have your work area compromised, then this should be no problem. But if you are in a business environment, or using a laptop computer, it's highly recommended you keep the system password protected. The few seconds you spend entering the password may save you a lot of headache later if your system is compromised.
