Windows 95 Screensavers

Forgot Your Screensaver Password?

SUMMARY: Clear your Windows 95 screensaver password.

This tricks works on many screensavers, especially those with a .SCR extension.

Forgot your screensaver password so you are not able to change it to something else? There may be a fix. Look in your Windows directory, and backup the file CONTROL.INI. Now, edit the file (Notepad will do), and find the name of your screensaver in brackets (i.e. [screensaver[). Underneath, look for the line "password=" and a bunch of garbled text after the line. Delete the text after "password=" and save the file. This may eliminate the old password and let you key in a new one.
