dot net question

[Richard]

I recently installed a program that required .NET - now I have a login
screen - with no login password - I simply have to click on my name and the
boot continues. Is there any way to configure the machine to log in
automatically (only one acct ever used) - any help is appreciated.

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type control userpasswords2, and then
click OK.
3. Clear the "Users must enter a user name and password to
use this computer" check box, then click Apply.
4. In the Automatically Log On window, type the password in
the Password box, and then retype the password in the Confirm
Password box.
5. Click OK to close the Automatically Log On window, and
then click OK to close the User Accounts window.

Take a look at this article to make sure you followed the correct
procedure:

When you remove the check mark this box will pop up:

Make sure you enter your user name (instead of Administrator) and
leave the password boxes blank. Click OK twice and reboot.
