XP Not prompting for password
Customer's computer, a Dell Otiplex,
The computer is not asking for the password for the user's only account. I went into UserAccounts and then change the way users long on or off and then I made sure the windows welcome screen and the fast user switching boxes were enabled. i even deleted the password and set up an entirely new password. The screensaver prompts for the user's password but when you boot the computer it does not prompt for the password. In user accounts the woman's account shows as password protected. why does it not ask her for her password when she turns on the computer. what can be fixed, checked..... thanks, alan Last edited by tacoeater; 10-13-2006 at 02:43 PM. |

Go to start > run > control userpasswords2
Check mark the box for users must enter a password. Last edited by Statica; 10-13-2006 at 04:17 PM. |

Oops sorry my mistake it was a typo. I've subsequently edited my previous post as well.
