.. Go to the Start Menu and the Run box.
.. Type in the following:
control userpasswords2
.. now click OK
.. In the new Windows that appears select the account you wish to make the primary
logon.
.. Now uncheck the "Users must enter a username and password..." box.
.. Hit Apply and a dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the selected users
password.

Click OK.
The changes will work the next time you restart your computer.

I recommend you choose a password, but you don't have to. Go to start/run, and type 'control userpasswords2' , Uncheck the password
option, and follow the wizard. This will log you on without asking for the password
