i cant input a password to 2nd user if i logout from a first user that doesn't require a password.

windows Xp User 1 doesnt need a password, i select logout from that user and select user2, but when trying to type in password, it does not do anything, i have to restart the pc, so far this is only my solution.

What's the cause of this ?

you have an autologon set with a password that is forgotton.

Try going into users and changing the PWD after you are signed in.

If your problem is that you can select the user from the Welcome screen, but not input a password, try pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del twice. This will bring up the Classic log-in dialog and you can proceed normally from here.
