Log On to Windows

[Pam]

My Windows 2000 Professional has suddenly started asking
for username ("Administrator" comes up as a default
username) and password at startup. I had just renamed the
hard drive to "Ourcompany#4" and shared the Hard drive
(C:\). After this problem developed, I went in and re-
renamed the computer it's old name and removed
the "sharing" but it still is asking for username &
password at the windows log on. I don't want to HAVE to
enter ANYTHING to get the Windows Desktop scree. How do I
get it to stop doing the password request thing?

You can run regedit.exe and navigate to;
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
edit the Reg_Sz string values
"DefaultUserName"
and
"DefaultPassword"
to reflect the correct username and password. (note: the password for an
autologon account can not be blank)
