Need prompt for password 2000 Pro

I know little or nothing about using 2000. I have installed 2000 Pro for a customer and gave it a password during the network setup wizzard. I am wondering now how to get 2000 to prompt for that password when she turns on the computer. It went right in without stopping for a password. I think I may have seen the screen and the password was saved. How do I get it to stop and ask for that password?
Thanks,
Alan

What password is this - the Windows logon password or a dialup password?

It is the windows logon password which is stored. It flashes on the screen momentarily upon boot and I need to change it to not store the password for automatic logon.

Do the opposite of this but know the user/admin account passwords before making the changes
