unknown password

I was given a computer that was once on a network. I am
trying to get rid of the Windows Log in at the beginning,
but I need a password to get rid of it. It is not a huge
problem, but it is annoying. Please help, and thank you!

1. Cancel the logon prompt to get into Windows.

2. To remove the password, search for and delete all files that match
"C:\Windows\*.pwl".

3. Go to Control Panel | Network and set the primary network logon to
Windows Logon.

4. Log out and log back in with a user name and no password.
