Hey does anyone know how to actually setup a password that actually has to be typed in to log onto a computer using Win98, client for microsoft? Right now when the log on box comes up showing user name and password, all you have to do is hit the "ok" button without typing in the password and it boots, how do I set it up so that it will not boot until the password is actually typed in?
Thank you! :)

You can't, you can hit cancel and bypass the login box.

Suchy thank you for the link but I don't think my boss will want to spend that kind of money, I was thinking of doing something like this, what do you think?

scroll down to the win98 section.
or how about this one:

I just have to make sure that it is user friendly as the person who uses this machine is zero computer literate.
I appreciate the help!
