It has also been advised that you do not use the article Q135586, which has a link included in the article. Its purpose is “to clear the User Name logon box so it is blank each time you start Windows�, it is not meant to prevent the logon box from prompting you for a name/password.
Instead if you have TweakUI installed, check to make sure the “Clear Last User At Logon� check box is not checked. Go to Start Settings Control Panel, double click Tweak UI, click the Paranoia tab, if the box is checked, uncheck it.

I turned of the typical password for the screen saver when in idle mode. But
when the computer is first turned on it askes for a password which I don't
have and so just press the enter key and it boots fine.

But if I don't get to it in time the screensaver comes on and asks for
apassword. I don't know what the password is so I have to reboot.

How do I turn this passwrod off? Where is it and how can I get rid of the
logon password screen so it just boots right into windows?

Thanks
