Event Logs False Log in....I think

Here is the problem:

I just added a 2000 workstation to my NT testbed/network. I looked at the security event log and noticed that my user name was recorded as logging into one of the computers at an ungodly hour in the morning. I never logged into the computer, in fact I was already logged into it and I just had the simulation running and the screen locked. Basically, I would like to know if you can help me figure out how I could be shown as logging into my computer when I was already logged into it. I know that no one broke into our facility and logged me in. By the way, over the weekend I let a simulation run on that computer and I think that because it was running (it takes up all my processing power) somehow I think it recorded me as logging in. Does that sound possible?

As an aside: I called my alarm company and they said the alarm/motion detector etc never tripped. (By the way, I know no one broke in because our facility is EXTREMLY secure - it's a government building and if an alarm was tripped I would know. Also, there is NO access to our lab over the weekend, so I know no one was on the computer because it is beyond impossible to get in to our lab.)

Thank you!
