I don't have access to my W98 box right now but if memory serves me correct go to
networking properties and select Client for Microsoft Networks and NOT Windows logon
for primary logon. You then should be prompted for username and password to logon to
the network and if you enter a new name, you can then create a password for it at
that time I believe. If you have a user name you want to use and you forgot the
password try deleting the .pwl for the user in the \Windows folder and use it
again. --- Steve
