This shows a trick to bypass the logon prompt of win98 without ever
entering a password. It's noteworthy only because of the
creativeness... not that win9x actually had anything going for it in the
security department, since you could just as easily boot from a floppy
and just delete *.pwd (or whatever those stored login password files
were called) in the windows dir. Or one of a million other ways to
bypass the non-existant security.
