When I reboot my computer, I am always asked for a password. I do not have and do not want to have a password, so I just hit enter and the dialog box asking for a password goes away. I am a sole user on a standalone computer with XP Pro. I have searched "endlessly" but can't figure out how to avoid being asked for a password every time. Can someone help, please?
 
Norma;
Start/Run
Type "control userpasswords2" ENTER
Uncheck box "Users must enter..."
Click OK and follow prompts.

.. Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.
.. Type in the following:
control userpasswords2
.. now click OK
.. In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the
primary logon.
.. Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." box.
.. Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the selected
users password.

Click OK.
The changes will work the next time you restart your computer.

Have you tried from Control Panel, User Accounts, Create a Password

You could delete everything there is in Password Line. There might be some hidden characters so it is a good idea to use backspace to delete these.

Let us know if this worked.
