How to Cache Your Windows NT Domain Password in Windows Me/98/95
This article was previously published under Q140709
This article describes how to cache your Microsoft Windows NT domain
password in Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows 98, and Windows 95.
To cache your Windows NT domain password in Windows Me/98/95, follow these
steps:
- In Control Panel, double-click the Passwords icon, and then click
Change Windows Password.
- If any check boxes in the Change Windows Password dialog box are
selected, click them to clear them, and then click OK.
- In the Old Password box, type your current Windows password.
Leave the New Password and Confirm New Password boxes empty,
and then click OK.
- Click Close.
- In Control Panel, double-click the Network icon. Make sure that
the Client for Microsoft Networks is installed.
- Double-click Client For Microsoft Networks, click the "Log on to
Windows NT domain" check box to select it, and then click OK.
- In the Primary Network Logon box, click Windows Logon, and then
click OK. When you are prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.
- In the Enter Network Password dialog box, type your Windows NT domain
password in the Password box, click the "Save this password in your
password list" check box to select it, and then click OK.
The next time you start your computer, you will not be prompted for a
password and you will be logged in to the Windows NT domain automatically.
As long as your Windows and Windows NT domain passwords are different,
and Windows Logon remains your primary network logon, you will not be
prompted for either password.
NOTE: The method described in this article does not work if system
policies and user profiles are enabled, and password caching has been
disabled.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
- Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
- Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows 95

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
