Log in window appeared

[Guest Abel MacAdam]

Hi,

 

I recently got a new PC, with XP (SP3) pre-installed. After changing the

configuration using TweakUI I have a slight problem. The PC shop had my

system installed so if I turn it on no login screen or window is shown. That

is broken now. The first time I started XP after messing with TweakUI I had a

window where I was instructed to choose an account to log in with. But no

account was shown! I solved that, but now I have a window where I need to

enter a password. But that is not necessary.

 

How do I solve this

(In TweakUI? I'm at work, and I see that if you start TweakUI you can change

the Logon. If you open Logon you have an Autologon where you can select 'Log

on automatically at system startup' This is not something I would like to do

on my work system, though)

Re: Log in window appeared

 

I was right with you until you wrote para 2. Is your work PC the one you

are asking about?

If not, what does it have to do with your question? Assuming it has nothing

to do with it and that the PC in question is your personal PC, try this:

 

- Go to Run on the Start menu and type: control userpasswords2 and click

OK

- Mark the box that requires users to enter a password.

- Click your account name.

- Unmark the box that requires users to enter a password and click OK.

- When prompted for a password, click OK.
