When it asks for password next time, leave it blank and click OK (you may have to click OK this twice)
That should cancel the password prompt from appearing in future.
If you already entered a password, you need to use the 'search' or 'find' tool
to find a file with the letters PWL after the period (for example, YOURNAME.PWL)
There should only be one PWL file, so you can use a 'wildcard' to find it by typing *.PWL
When found, delete it. Now reboot and the password prompt will appear as though it was for the first time. Leave blank and click 'OK' (maybe twice).

You also want to make sure:
Open Control Panel, and double-click on the Network icon.
From the list entitled Primary Network Logon:, choose "Windows Logon", and press OK.
