Hi guys,
I have a tempramental Windows 98 box running an old dialup polling message system. The box falls over about once a week and I want to have someone on site power cycle it when it does crash rather than having to travel out to reset it myself. Problem is that it needs to log in as administrator (with a password). I dont want to give the password out. Is there a way that I can have the computer automatically log in once it has been rebooted?

Prevention is better than cure and rebuilding the machine would be the best option. However the company that produces the software running on it, no longer exists. It due to be retired in 3 months but until then I have to keep patching it up as i have no other options.

Any help from you would be appreciated.
