Windows XP >> Admin. Password Protect Gone My husband gave me administrator priviledges a month ago. We both have our
accounts password protected. On my account, however, I turn on my pc this
afternoon and the password function is turned off (no password was required
to log onto my account.) Has this happend to anyone else and can you tell me
why...?

The password for any account can be changed or removed from any other admin
level account.

You might have to ask your husband . . .

Account / password challenges at logon time are automated
by doing this:
- Click Start / Run / control userpasswords2 {OK}

Have a look at the tick box that requires users to enter
a password.
