Auomatic log in

I think I may have changed a setting while in safe mode, Now I need to enter my password in order to log in.The box in my user account is unchecked but the log in screen still shows when I open up. Do I need to change my user name and password?

  1. In the Search box, type control userpasswords2, and then press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  2. Clear the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer check box, and then click Apply.
  3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box, type your password, and then click OK.
  4. In the User Accounts dialog box, click OK.
    After you restart your computer, you will be able to log on automatically.

Hi Murf, thanks for your reply. I had already been through that procedure and it didn't work. Is there anything else I could try?

Hi Murf, I found an alternative method involving by altering the registry :

Search> regedit> Winlogin> AutoAdminLogin change value 0 to 1> DefaultUserName ok> create folder for DefaultPassWord enter password.

Still no joy.

Hi Murf, I have found the problem and the solution. I had changed my battery settings and inadvertently changed the settings to 'password required when waking up' which I have now adjusted.
