Is there any way to avoid having to log back in to Windows XP upon Restart? There is no password set, I just click OK to log in.

Thanks!

Start, Run, control userpasswords2
Uncheck the box at the top "User must enter a username and password to use this computer..."

Answer the prompts and Apply.
 
OK, now I'm really in trouble! I did that, but now it's asking for Administrator log in and I don't have the password. I'm not even sure there is one. Now what do I do? Sorry, I guess I really screwed this up.

Hi,
Unless you created one, try using no password ( if it works, immediately add a password to that acount)
