Disable Automatic Logon in Windows

[David Lobell]

I have a Windows XP laptop that always attempts to login
as the administrator at start up. I tried following the
steps in "Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 315231
How to Enable Automatic Logon in Windows", but this still
happens. I
set "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Curren
tVersion\Winlogon\AutoAdminLogon"to 0 (false), but it gets
set back to 1 after a reboot. Please help. Thanks

Start, run, type in: control userpasswords2, hit enter.

Check: users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.

I did that, but after the reboot the check mark was gone.
I should add that the computer never does actually login,
because the password is incorrect. It is trying to login
in with no password. I temporarily set the administrator
password to nothing, and the computer did login.

I tried that, but administrator is still there. Could
this be a setting in the Management Console?
