Auto login in with no CTRL+ALT+DEL

[Guest]

A local agency has a machine that on reboot or logoff immediately logs back
in as administrator, without getting the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen. It is set in
local security policy to require CTRL+ALT+DEL. I need to keep it from loggin
in automatically. The administrator account currently has no password. What
can I do?

In et37tuna had this to say:

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

account currently has no password. What can I do?

Basically what Carey said but reverse this:

Automatic Login:
http://kgiii.info/windows/XP/general/auto_login.html

From there you can setup a password... Type "control userpasswords" into the
run box and hit enter.
