This has been bugging me for some time now so I finally decided to post. When I start my computer up it always stops at the login screen asking for a password and I do not have a password so all I do is click enter on my keyboard and it finishes booting me into Windows 7 so how can I get rid of this and have it boot right into Windows 7??

Go to Start, Run and type in "control userpasswords2". Uncheck the box "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Post back with your result.

Thanks but that option was not there. Anyway I just got it figured out from help on another forum. Thanks though!
