I think it might be slightly easier to go to Start/Control Panel/ Passwords and then
on the Passwords Properties form click the Change Windows Password button. In the
pop-up dialogue box enter your old password and then enter a null string (i.e., nothing)
as the new password. As I remember (it is a long time since I have had to do this),
Windows continues to present the logon screen for a period of time (during which
you simply have to return the null string), but eventually gets the message that
you don't want to log in with a password and the logon screen no longer appears.
(When Microsoft wants you to do something, like log in to your computer with a password,
it doesn't give in easily when you try to defy it).
