For last year, when booting up, the password screen comes up and I type in
my password, hit enter and windows comes up.

This morning, no password screen and windows just comes up. Shut down the
computer and rebooted and same thing.

Anybody have an idea as to why I lost password protection?

Thanks
 
Click Start, Run, type in control userpasswords2
Is there a checkmark in the box "Users must enter a user name and password..."?
 
Yes, there is a checkmark in the box.

Click Start, Run, type in control userpasswords2
Is there a checkmark in the box "Users must enter a user name and
password..."?
 
Well, that is strange then, because that should be the control point. You might try removing the checkmark, rebooting, then adding the mark back.
