Windows Asks me to Enter Password.
The Problem is...I don't have a password!
I just press Enter (Return) and Login.
What's the Problem?
Can Anybody Help Please?

.. Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.
.. Type in the following:
control userpasswords2
.. now click OK
.. In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the primary
logon.
.. Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." box.
.. Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the selected users
password.

Click OK.
The changes will work the next time you restart your computer.

It might have had to do with the way you were asking.

A better way to have asked the same question that would have had everyone on
the same page from the first instant instead of having to make a stab in
the dark is "I only have one user on this machine, how do I disable the
welcome screen?"

The best way would have been to search what was already posted to this
newsgroup for the answer since it gets asked regularly.

For future reference, you might want to give this a read.
