Can I restore my PC to open Skype without a password?

NB This thread was originally entitled 'How can I remove a Skype i/d from my PC?'

I let someone use their Skype i/d on my PC. Now, whenever I launch the Skype program, I get their i/d instead of my own. There seems no way to change it, either. Am I missing something? I'm running XP Home.

When it starts up click on 'skype' (top left) and then click on 'sign out'. Then sign back in as yourself

Thanks, I never even looked at that list because I have always signed out of every other site via a link on the page!
But now this has caused another problem. I can't remember my own password because it's always opened up without asking for it. Is there any way to restore this situation without knowing the password? (I'm thinking of 'system restore' here, but was wondering about any alternatives).

Does this help?

Edit: Forgotten your password?

Thanks, but what I should have said was will this restore the situation where you don't have to log in.

Is there not a box labelled Sign me in when Skype starts immediately below the password field?

Err... well.... yes, I guess I should have asked my relative how they achieved the situation I sought :doh:
