Saving your dial up networking password in Windows 95
With Windows 95 Dial Up Networking, when you start an Internet connection using your
UniNet Dial-up account you should see the following window:
You should be able to put a tick in the "Save password" check-box. This will
avoid you having to enter your password every time you wish to connect, and is a
recommended action. With such long, meaningless computer-generated passwords, you should
avoid the chore of having to type it in each time. If the Save password check-box is
greyed-out so that you can not select it, then follow the steps below.
Click on  then
select Settings, then Control Panel. Double-click on the Passwords
icon and you should see the following window:
Select the User Profiles tab and select the options shown above. When you
click on OK you will be asked to restart your computer.
When your machine restarts you will be prompted with a window asking you to log on to
Windows. In this window, enter any name as your username, but make sure that you leave the
password blank. When asked to confirm the blank password, just click OK,
and you will then be asked if you wish to save the desktop preferences; just click Yes.
You will now be able to select the Save password check-box as described above.
As a slight side effect you will be asked to enter a login username and password every
time you start windows. Providing you left your Windows password blank as described above,
you should just be able to click OK and pass by this prompt. |
