I believe that I read a thread on this forum about something similar. Try doing a search. The only way that I've avoided login passwords is through a program called ERD Commander. It allows you to boot from the disc and reset any account password on the machine.

when you are logged in under your account, or by loggin in safe mode, click on run, then type in "control userpasswords2" and see what accounts are setup to login on this computer. Remove extra ones if need be.

i had that before when i installed my HP printer drivers, it has something to do with remote access, which is bad

go to your start menu, and click on your little picture, press the back button a few times in the popup window

there will probably be a new user in there besides admin and guest called aspnet or whatever, delete the account for this user

the reason you are prompted to login now is because whatever you installed made another user on your pc so it is wondering which one you are

if you are the only user delete all the accounts except the one you use and guest, but make sure to turn it off, it cant be deleted
