Good evening.

In Windows XP, I enter control panel and next User accounts.
There I want to make a password for administrator.
I put in the field the password, and after that I reenter it.
I make the restart, and Windows does not ask me for the password, but it goes to desktop right away.
There is no other account in Windows.
I tried with enabling guess account, but the same. So, I disabled guess account.
Also, I deleted the password I entered, left password blank, restarted, entered another password, restarted, but the same: desktop without password login screen.
Can you please help me? I do not know what is wrong, and what else to try.

Thank you!

Because right now I cannot access the specific computer, I will try mod's suggestion and if the problem persists, I' ll come back.


It's not a matter of a lost or forgotten password. The problem is that, although I enter a password, at Windows start up I am not asked to enter it. Start up goes straight to desktop.

Thank you for all the answers.
