Title: How can I get my XP to make me enter my password to log in?
Post by: Wrench on January 23, 2008, 07:23:36 PM

I have a password set, but when I first got the computer, I asked it to just log me in without typing in anything. I would really like to make my computer password protected again. Will I have to make another account or what? I can't remember how I set it to just log me in.

It completely ignores that fact. Just logs me straight in, no problem.

Does the welcome screen come up? Try enabling the guest account.

Remove the password, then add a password.
