Booting into WindowsXP

My original WinXP (Home) booted directly into Windows. I had my hard drive
cleaned and WinXP reinstalled. Now my booting stops with a small "Unlock
Computer" window with notation "only user (owner or an administrator) can
unlock this computer". The window asks for my password. I can press any key
or click OK (without a password) and I get the window desltop. Any ideas on
how I can get rid of this annoying Unlock Computer? Many thanks for your
help.

Go to the screensaver tab in the Display applet in Control Panel.
Uncheck the box that asks for a password when resuming from the
screensaver.
