So, today I clicked on my username, but it said I needed a password becuase I need administrator rights (I have never set a password, and no one else has, has trust me!) But when I clicked the "OK" button (WITHOUT typing in a password!) I was able to get in... As if the password were set to nothing... /:

Why would this happen?

Did you recently do a Windows Update? If so, was .NET one of them? .NET adds a new account to your computer for use if you do .NET software development. It's called ASP.Net. You can delete it. That should stop XP from asking you to login when you boot.

Yeah, I did have an update installed, not sure if .NET was one of them(I'll go check)

But it's not asking me to enter a password for administrator rights anymore when I reboot /:

EDIT: I checked for updates just now, and it seems the .NET update hasn't been installed yet.

I found out it only asks for a password after I turn my PC on after in Hibernate mode.

How can I stop this?

Ah-ha!

• Right click on the Desktop, select Properties
• Screensaver tab
• Power button
• Advanced tab
• Uncheck Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby (/ hibernation)

Thanks, but I just found out how to fix that already, he.

But now it doesn't show the Welcome Screen (which didn't show when the password was on, either)... It kinda bothers me when I don't see the welcome screen /:

Press WinKey+R, enter control userpasswords2
Check the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" check box then click Apply then OK.

Ah, thanks!
