Windows keeps a few of your passwords, they are in your windows directory and they have the extension .pwd

If you delete these, probably one of which be something like graeme.pwd then nextime you reboot it will probably have your username and password blank rather filling in the usernamee for you. If this doesn't work then you may have to go through your reg. Hope this helps

Another way of finding your *.pwl files is to go start menu, find, files and then type
*.pwl

Here you can view all of your password files and if you wish delete the one, but make sure its the right one.

Well Answer #1 is correct,but the file to check is not a ".pwd" file.It is ".pwl".If you delete this file then you won't get the prompt again.In case it ask for a new user name just give the user name with giving the password(press enter both times for password and confirm password).
