Similar problem for me except...
Windows is requiring a log on password for "Owner" and/or "Guest"
I've never used this feature and have not set up a password so I cannot get
into my machine. How do I circumvent to make the changes that StudioTwo
recommends below.
I use Auto Update and have SP2 and all other critical updates. I did a
fresh install a couple weeks back but have booted numerous times since. I
have a Netgear wireless network and Norton Internet Security 2006 recently
installed.

If this happened recently from no intervention on your part, (meaning that
you have never previously used the Welcome Screen and was set to auto logon
and that has changed) this has to do with the .Net Framework 1.1 update.
This update adds a new user called aspnet_wp account. The aspnet
account/user can only be deleted, not disabled. Information on what the user
account would be needed for:
When you run an ASP.Net application on a WebServer, not necessarily on your
local machine, that is the account the Web Server uses for
credentials/permissions. ASP.NET is a programming framework built on the
common language runtime that can be used on a server to build powerful Web
applications. ASP.NET offers several important advantages over previous Web
development models: More information here:
http://docs.aspng.com/quickstart/aspplus/doc/whatisaspx.aspx.
The ASP.NET worker process (Aspnet_wp.exe) should run with a different and
less privileged identity than the Windows default System identity. This
allows the process to run as a relatively un-trusted user so that hosted Web
applications do not have administrative privileges and cannot compromise the
integrity of the server. More information here: http://tinyurl.com/aedb.
If this applies to you and you want to re-enable auto logon: Once the
account is deleted, apply these settings:
1. Go to Start/Run and type in: control userpasswords2 and press ok.
2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To
Use This Computer check box and then
click OK.
3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user name
and password for the account you want to be
logged on each time you start your computer.
Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)
