Windows 8 Why is my lock screen showing an additional maroon screen?

[Rahima]

Why is my lock screen showing this screen and asking me to verify my password? Shouldn't it automatically ask for my password on the blue screen?

I have Windows 8, and just got a new laptop. Using Windows 8 for the first time. How do I get rid of this screen?

I have an HP Probook 640

Please help me!!

HP Probook 640

I have Windows 8

I seriously doubt that... this model comes in windows 7, 8.1 or 10

houldn't it automatically ask for my password on the blue screen?

yes... the image you posted is not good but that does not look like a default windows login screen to me.
have you added any blotware (hp password manager perhaps) or is there a domain | admin account on the system as well?

p.s the hp manual (such as it is) for 8.1 as a pdf = Link Removed
