Windows decided to make a password

[Bob]

I wanted to change the host name of my computer. However,
I clicked on an assistant that was going to guide me
through. I cancelled that, and then went into the right
section and changed the host name. I restarted my
computer, and now it got a Log on to windows pop up screen
when I start windows. It asks me for a password! The
username is "A User"...I never even entered that. If
anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Have you tried to log on with the original Administrator user using
a blank password?


If that doesn't work out, you might try to reset the local Administrator
password with one of the methods mentioned here:
