Automatic Logon to Windows problem

[Guest baldy]

Each time my PC starts now, I get an Automatic Logon To Windows screen

appearing. In the user box it has the Administrator, & the password box is

blank. It says that the computer is unable to log me on . I replace the

Administrator user name with my user name and leave the password blank, and

then I am able to logon. What I would like to do is for the PC to

automatically log me on each time it starts, without having to go through

the process I have mentioned.

 

I have used userpasswords2 from the run command, and in the user accounts I

have 3 accounts listed in the user tab. An administrator, ASPNET AND me. The

box "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" is not

ticked.

 

I am the only one with access to this PC.

 

Any help to resolve this will be most appreciated.

Under UserPasswords2, do this to make the process stick:

1. Tick the box "Users must enter..."

2. Click the preferred user.

3. Untick the box "Users must enter..."

4. Enter the password when prompted.

In future, repeat this process each time you change the password.

Re: Automatic Logon to Windows problem

 

So if I am correct, I run the application and type in my username and put a

password in and hit enable, and then when my PC logs on it does so

automatically to my username by default, without me having to type anything

in. If so, can I leave the password blank, as knowing me I will forget it

anyway!

 

Cheers
