I have inherited a computer from work and wondered if there was a way to bypass the Novell client login? It doesn't want to recognize me even when I type in my proper username and password.
I've even tried checking Workstation only and it still won't let me in. Ideally I want this removed so Windows (2000 Professional) just logs in automatically as this will be for home use.
How can I bypass or remove the Novell login prompt?
When you attempt to Bypass the Novell Client Login, you need to use a username and password of an Administrator of the local machine. Your Novell login option for workstation may not work if it's not a user of the machine. Once you log on with a Local Computer Administrator Username, you can uninstall the Novell Client.
If that doesn't work, boot to a Windows 2000 Installation Disk and go to recovery console.
c:\winnt\system32\NWGINA.DLL to NWGINA.OLDc:\WINNT\system32\MSGINA.DLL to NWGINA.DLLThis will replace the Novell Login with the Windows Login.
Boot into Safe Mode, and go to Add/Remove Programs. You should be able to uninstall Novell Network Login from there.
