Log in window appeared

[Abel MacAdam]

Hi,

I recently got a new PC, with XP (SP3) pre-installed. After changing the
configuration using TweakUI I have a slight problem. The PC shop had my
system installed so if I turn it on no login screen or window is shown. That
is broken now. The first time I started XP after messing with TweakUI I had a
window where I was instructed to choose an account to log in with. But no
account was shown! I solved that, but now I have a window where I need to
enter a password. But that is not necessary.

How do I solve this
(In TweakUI? I'm at work, and I see that if you start TweakUI you can change
the Logon. If you open Logon you have an Autologon where you can select 'Log
on automatically at system startup' This is not something I would like to do
on my work system, though)

I was right with you until you wrote para 2. Is your work PC the one you
are asking about?
If not, what does it have to do with your question? Assuming it has nothing
to do with it and that the PC in question is your personal PC, try this:

- Go to Run on the Start menu and type: control userpasswords2 and click
OK
- Mark the box that requires users to enter a password.
- Click your account name.
- Unmark the box that requires users to enter a password and click OK.
- When prompted for a password, click OK.
