Solution 1:
Click Start, Run and type "control userpasswords2", and click Ok.
Uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
option, and click Ok.
Solution 2:
If you have one user account and no password configured, Windows XP will log
you in automatically. Otherwise, you'll have to do the following:
Obtain and install the Windows XP version of TweakUI.
Download it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp
Open TweakUI (it's in Start -> Programs -> Powertoys for Windows XP).
Expand the Logon branch, and click Autologon.
Turn on the Log on automatically at system startup option, type your
username and password, and click Ok.

If a person is the only one to ever use their computer, and does not have a
password for her account, then the logon screen becomes a waste of time.
Is it possible to get rid of it, and have WinXP directly logon into the
admin account without any prompt.
Thanks.
