Log on password

I have 2 administrator accounts,
One is "Administrator" and one has my name on it. I actually want the one
with my name on it to come up but when I follow the directions below, the
'Administrator" account comes up with "it's settings" not the settings that
I have with my name account. Is there any way for me to skip the password
and have my account come up instead of "Administrator" account?

thanks
sharkman


Go to Start -> Run and enter the following in the Open box:
control userpasswords2
Click OK
On the Users page, uncheck "Users must enter a user name and
password to use this computer".
Click OK
In the box that pops up enter your user name and password and
click OK.

Try this: "How to Configure Windows XP to Automatically Log On a User
Account" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=282866).
