Hi Johan,
Judging by your e-mail address (.nl), I assuming you're using the Dutch version of Windows
XP? Unfortunately, there is a current bug in the Dutch version of Windows XP which prevents
you from removing passport information from your account. As far as I know, this hasn't
been fixed, but you may want to run WindowsUpdate (
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com on your
computer to see if there's an update that will fix this).
What you can do is prevent Passports from being saved completely (and you'll loose your
automatic login, which is what you want). To do so, download and run this .reg file:

Then reboot the computer -- all names will be gone (and will no longer save), as will the
automatic login.
