The system could not log on

[Guest]

Every time I boot up, I get the following screen:
"The system could not log you on. Make sure your user name & domain are
correct, then type your password again. Letters in Passwords must be typed
using the correct case." I can type in either/or John and JohnL to log in,
and the boot process will finish without anymore problems. I do not have a
Password being used.

In the registry location of:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACXHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogin
I have the following:
AltDefaultDomainName with a value of JOHN
AltDefaultUserName with a value of JohnL
DefaultDomainName with a value of JohnL

How can I stop I stop this screen from appearing, which forces me to logon
and type my name . I want my computer to boot up without any input.

I would greatly appreciate any help with this matter.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,

Install TweakUI, go to Logon - Autologon and check "Log on
automatically at system startup" then enter the users name.
