How do I disable the password for logging on

I have a local machine at home, its just my personal pc, and in a workgroup
with my other home pc. I am tired of having to type in my admin password
every day, I just want to hit the power button and go get some coffee. How do
I do this? I remember seeing somewhere that it can be changed but I sure
cant seem to find it.

Start>Run>control userpasswords2 [enter]

Uncheck "users must enter a password...", click Apply. You'll get a
dialog box where you can choose the account you want to automaticaly log
into. If you didn't assign a password to that account, leave that part
of the box blank.

Hi Ken,

Control Panel, user accounts, click on your account, "remove my password".
This is explained in "Help and Support", though I admit it's a bit hard to
find.
