Autologon Problem

[Krell]

I've just installed the latest criticle updates from windows update. After
rebooting my computer it failed to autologon. It gave me a message stating
the password is incorrect and I have to click an ok box then click on my
icon on the logon screen. What I did notice was that when it gave me a
message i could see my user name and also 2 digits on the password field. My
account doesn't have a password so I think thats what the problem is. I've
disabled auto-logon and now I just click my logon icon and everythings ok.
It doesn't prompt me for a password either.

What do I have to do to reset the password details so it doesn't try and
enter a password when I enable auto-logon? It's not a case of the password
being typed incorrectly because, like I've said, my user account doesnt have
a password. I've considered creating a password for my account but am
concerned that it may lock me out of my pc if the same problem thats causing
a password to be entered when it shouldn't alters my new password in some
way.

Thanks

This is where the reserve, emergency account called Administrator comes
in. Boot, hitting F8 as BIOS info goes to black; take Safe Mode, There
will then be an icon for Administrator on the Welcome screen. (If not,
hit CTL-ALT-DEL twice and enter the explicit name
Administrator
and leave the password blank)

In that, Start - Run the line
control userpasswords2
where you can select any account name and Reset Password
