Login Problem

[Bob Speck]

During the boot procedure I get a message that says, "The system could
not log you on. Make sure your user name and domain are correct. Then
type your password again." This message appears in front of the log on
to windows with my user name and password filled in. I click on OK and
then get a screen showing my user name and a picture. I am told to click
on my user name and then get a message saying my personal settings are
being loaded. How can I avoid getting the message that says the system
could not log me on. I do not want any interruptions in the boot procedure.

It appears that you automated the logon process some time ago. You
subsequently changed your password, without marking the change in the
automated logon process. If you used the automated process built into WinXP
then you must now do this:
1. Click Start / Run
2. Type this: control userpasswords2{OK}
3. Tick the box that requires users to set a password.
4. Single-click your logon name.
5. Untick the box that requires users to set a password.
6. Click OK.
7. Enter your current password when prompted.
8. Keep this note for future reference . . .

I followed your suggestion, step by step, but I still have the same
problem. Do you have any other suggestions?

As I mentioned, the instructions I wrote apply in cases when you use the
native WinXP logon automator. They have no effect when you use other
automatic processes, e.g. TweakUI. How did you first automate your logon
process? What tool did you use?

I did use TweakUI.
