How do I get rid of the password prompt at windows Start Up?

I didnt enter a password so I just click ok but it is so annoying, is there any way to get it so it doesnt ask for a password?

I tried under the advanced power options and turning off the welcome screen as my computer does not have separate profiles.

    yes, the information to this is right on the microsoft website:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282866

    alternatively, there is a program called tweakui made by microsoft which lets you tweak many options of windows as well as setting an automatic logon option, tweakui.exe can be downloaded for free here - it's about half way down the page on the right:

    remember that downloading files from unofficial sites carries the risk of a virus/trojan infection.

    on my computer, i went to users under the control panel to make sure that i didn't have separate log-on names. after that i went to passwords (also under control panel) and clicked on the second tab at the top, which says "user profiles". then under that tab select the top option, which says "all users of this computer use the same preferences and desktop setting."

    try that i guess.
