Go to the control panel and select users accounts and pick the account you want to change (if there is more than one) and you'll see the option to remove the password.
To disable programs from startup click run in the Start menu and type in msconfig and hit enter.Select the startup tab and disable whatever you need to. NOTE: I'm not to blame for you inadvertantly turning off the wrong things :)
