Windows 98 Logon

[jsj9803]

Hi there!

I am wondering if there is a way to stop the computer from logging in if "cancel" is clicked in the logon window. I would like to make it more secure. The only other thing I can think of is to upgrade the os.

Thanks in advance for the help,

Win2K or XP will give you that type of security.. You could try checking BIOS to see if there is a boot password you can put on. No password, startup stops at BIOS..

Make the following changes to the registry:

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon]
Value Name: MustBeValidated
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)


This will force the users to be validated by windows before it will give them access to the desktop.

Hope this helps... mot98

I just purchased a 2 year old HP Pavillon notebook from a local computer surplus store.

On boot-up it is asking me for a password. Of course this not being my computer I don't have the password and I cannot get pass this screen to do anything.

Please help................
