  1. Click Start, point to Search (or Find), and then click For Files or Folders.
  2. Type *.pwl in the Named box, click Local Hard Drives in the Look in box, and then press ENTER.
  3. Right-click one of the .pwl files, click Rename, and then rename the file with an .old file name extension. Repeat this step for each .pwl file.

    NOTE: If you do not rename the .pwl files, the passwords from those files may be detected by Windows and the Windows Logon request may continue to appear.
  4. Shut down and then restart your computer.

Re: Delete User Accounts Windows Me

When an account is no longer necessary, it is possible to delete or rename it so that it can be used by another user. Be aware that deleting an account also deletes the SID (Security Identification) . Even if we allow 15,000 NT SID different, there is no need to delete an account if it can be renamed to another employee for example.
