In the MS Vista environment, how does one remove "Smart Card Required" for log-on requirement, which enables a user to log-on with their user name and password?

Hi, Please boot into Safe Mode and logon as "administrator". Run Regedit.exe and navigate to the following path HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\system Delete the key "SCForceOption" Please make a backup of the registry before any modification on registry.
