| Password Question For last year, when booting up, the password screen comes up and I type in my password, hit enter and windows comes up. This morning, no password screen and windows just comes up. Shut down the computer and rebooted and same thing. Anybody have an idea as to why I lost password protection? Thanks      |

| Re: Password Question Well, that is strange then, because that should be the control point. You might try removing the checkmark, rebooting, then adding the mark back. -- Bill James "Crhoff" <cr-nospam-hoff@bestnetpc.com> wrote in message news:uPG8qGJSHHA.4744@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Yes, there is a checkmark in the box. > > "Bill James" <wgjames@mvps.org> wrote in message > news:%233dwl8HSHHA.2256@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Click Start, Run, type in control userpasswords2 > Is there a checkmark in the box "Users must enter a user name and > password..."? > > -- > > Bill James > > > "Crhoff" <cr-nospam-hoff@bestnetpc.com> wrote in message > news:%23ue1MZHSHHA.4832@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> For last year, when booting up, the password screen comes up and I type in >> my password, hit enter and windows comes up. >> >> This morning, no password screen and windows just comes up.
