Hi Scott,

The System Configurtion utility, MSCONFIG, should be able to help you here. You will need to know the name of the company and/or product name of the Password Wizard prior to completing this procedure. Most programs like the password wizard are initially executed at the start of the system during boot-up. MSCONFIG allows you to modify these auto start-up programs by selecting (or unselecting) which run and which ones don't.

I have included a screen shot of MSCONFIG. I boxed-in a password wizard on my system, Omnipass, as an example. Your password program may be a different name.



> Start > type "msconfig" (no quotes) into Start Search box
> msconfig should appear at the top; double-click

Click the Startup tab. Look through the list for the password program. If found, uncheck it. If not found click on Services tab. Look through list and uncheck program, if found.
> click Apply > OK > Prompt will come up for reboot


** Be very careful that you only de-select an entry that you are sure about.


Good Luck.

regards . . .
