Archived from groups: microsoft>public>win95>networking (more info?)

When you install Win95, you have to create a user name and password. This is
used to log onto Windows. There is only one user set up, and I'd like only
one user.

1. How to I change the user name?
2. How do I change the password?

There is also a computer name, share names, and password for networked
shares, but those do not need to be changed.

Windows 95 doesn't require a password at installation or at any other
time.

To change the user name, log in using a different user name. By
default, that user name won't have a password.

To change (or remove) the password for an existing user name, log on
as that user and go to Control Panel | Passwords | Change Windows
Password.

Some notes:

1. With only one user set up, it doesn't matter what user name you use
to log on.

2. A password doesn't provide any type of security. You can cancel
the Windows logon and still use the computer.
