unwanted error message

Locked

During installation of a windows 2000 professional stand-alone computer, i mistakenly chose the “always assume the following user logs on” option.When the system starts booting, i am not given the option of username and password.I deleted that user and recreated another user, but while booting the system will still attempt logging on with the old username before displaying an error message prompting me for a correct username and password.How do i prevent this error message from appearing?

Control Panel?

Have you tried changing this in the Control Panel?

Although I am not familiar with Win 2k (still stuck with Neanderthal Technology), you should be able to fix this in either the Passwords or Users applets.
