David,
Yes, that's what I was doing, and it worked, but I wanted to bypass the
password screen entirely. Now Windows won't let me log on at all.

When you get the screen that asks for a password have you tried just not
entering anything and clicking ok or whatever you would click to login?  I
don't have 2000, but that has worked for me when I was testing Windows 2003
Standard and I did something like you did.

I have recently acquired another computer running Win2000 Pro. Wanting to
get rid of the password login screen, I followed directions found on Google.
Now, Windows won't let me start up. Apparently, I have mistakenly set it to
use a password, but not entered any. What I did was uncheck users must use a
password to log on. It asked me which users, and I checked my name. Is there
anything to do, short of formatting and reloading Windows?
