password prompt when I turn on computer?

Question

whenever I restart my computer, it asks for a password...before it was the windows xp screen where i clicked my name and typed it in but then i didnt want to have to do that so I went into control panel and deleted my password...but guess what..it still asks for it...i've tried everything, changed the password, backspaced it, etc so now i have to just enter a blank password and press ok (now it is like a box that pops up not the xp screen)...how do I fix this it's so annoying!

Answer 1

Yeah this happened to me too, I think it happens when a file is changed or something odd like that. Easiest way to fix it is go

Control Panel --> User Accounts --> Change the way users log on and off --> Use the welcome screen.

You want the welcome screen on.

Answer 2

If you want it to be that pretty XP screen where you click your username and it (since you have no password) logs you in...

Go to Control Panel
-->open User Accounts
-->choose "Change the way Users Log on and off"
-->make sure "Use the Welcome Screen" is checked

EDIT: apparently I'm a slow typist, as someone posted the same thing four mins before me.

either way, the answer is the same

Answer 3

↓ Start menu
↓ Click on the picture (login picture)
↓ Click cancel if it asks you about your picture
↓ click remove password
↓ Type in password then OK

Password override will completely remove the password..

Also after about 2 days your pc sometimes updates to realise that no password is present...

Answer 4

ignor the pass word and just hit enter, in about a week your computer will realize that no password is not a mistake, and it will by pass that screen

Answer 5

If you aren't the computere administrator, you can't prevent this. Only the computer administrator can remove your password.
