| | Why a password? My mom just bought a new computer with vista installed. She is currently locked out. Once we get a recovery disk and save a password to a flash drive she will misplace it all again at some future point and we will keep having this problem with recovery. Why does microsoft make vista password protection mandatory? Some people do not need a password. |

At the top is a check box that says users must type a password when they log on, uncheck it and she will no longer need a password to log on everytime. |
