Deleting syskey password prompt at startup

[djeffect]

I was screwing around with the syskey encryption and I selected the password startup and left it blank and clicked ok, and now I keep getting an encryption prompt to type in a password at startup. I just click ok and it boots; but how do I remove the prompt from popping up every time I load windows xp?

Try this:
START-->Control Panel-->User Accounts--> choose your account -->Remove my password.
I hope this is what you're looking for...

No the password is a syskey encryption, to get to it, you hafto use the run command and type syskey. Its not the windows password, its an extra encryption which not many people know about.... go to run and type syskey and It'll show up.

I think ya kinda shot yourself in the foot with this one.

It says and I quote "Once enabled, this encryption cannot be disabled"

I'm affraid your stuck with that short of reinstalling XP.

there hasto be another way...... maybe by editing some part of the registry it'll disable it.

It's encryption dood, it is built that way; otherwise we wouldn't call it encryption.
