To disable the password protection provided by the screen saver without access to the control panel, you will need to edit the Registry directly. Editing the Registry should be done only by experienced users and with extreme care and the Registry should always be exported or backed up before any changes are made.
1. Start the REGEDIT.EXE program.
2. Go to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP
3. You will see a list of parameters.
4. Double click on the ScreenSaveUsePassword parameter and change its value from 1 for password protected to 0 for not password protected.
To prevent the loading of the screen saver, hold down the SHIFT key while Windows 95 is starting. This will prevent the automatic loading of any programs in the StartUp menu.
