Can I eliminate need for password?

[Gerard O'Neil]

Hi Folks, I'll try this again. Using Netscape4.7 with Win98 on a PC. When I ask to see Newsgroups or try to send e-mail it will ask me for user name and password. I never was asked to do this before so I must have hit a button I should'nt have.
How can I access news and mail without having to enter username/password?.
Thanx gang. Gerry, CT.
