Look in Control Panel for the TweakUI icon. If the icon is there, there's probably a password set in it's autologon parameters. Clear it and save.

I am not sure If this is correct but i would look for an option somewhere in the Control Panel under Password. i would check by clicking the button Change Windows password. hope this helps!

First of all is this pc ona network. Thsi will make a big difference as to what you will need to do. If it is on a network then the chances are a reg key has been edited.
The following link should help if you are on a netowrk. I would also recommend after if this is the case to disable regedit on the pc if it is on a network.
