Remove password - Windows 7
spisi:
Is there a way to get Joy2key or antimicro to work at the login screen? If so, I could assign "enter" to a button. My password is "empty", so I just have to hit "enter"... (fingers crossed).

If that doesn't work, you might be able to adapt lilshawn's "DEFIB board" Arduino code from this thread to send an "Enter" keystroke several seconds after the computer power LED comes on.

This all adds to my reasons to be cautious about using ex-corporate PCs for mame.
If you can't find the registry edit required, you could try re-installing windows 7 from original media.
If you don't want to overwrite the old drive, get a new SSD, faster. 120GB should be more than sufficient for the operating system.
You would want to extract your windows license key first. So download and use ProduKey https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html
Warning: your virus/security software, if installed, may flag this as a virus. It is not a virus. It just raises red flags because ... of what it does :/ My Comodo security deleted the *.exe file almost immediately, without even telling me. But it is all completely legal. So go into your security software config and make whatever exceptions you need to make.
If you have any more issues, complain to MS.
