2. Six keys will be displayed. Double click the following sequence in order :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
MICROSOFT
WINDOWS
CURRENT_VERSION
NETWORK
Click once on the 'Real Mode Net' field which appears under NETWORK. This will display some information on the right side of the screen. The field 'Autologon' will be set to 0. Right-click on this field, and select MODIFY option. Press the 'delete' key once to remove '00' and type in value of '01'.
Once done, shutdown the registry in the normal manner, and restart the machine as prompted.
The machine will now boot with a password prompt.
