Weird annoying logon

friend's comp had winxp pro. She forgot the password her personal account, but had an auto login. I got round that by first using her account to change the admins account, and then logged into the admin account and changed her password to something she would remember.

Now here's where the problem starts; ever since then, whenever she starts up her comp she gets a msg saying "your password is incorrect..." etc. To login she must insert the password, or (if we remove the password all together) she has to press on the user button (winxp style login).

tried everything, changing the password again, rechanging it, etc etc, everything could think of! she wants the auto logon back, have no idea wat to try to get it back, any bright ideas?

thanks!

That's a bit extreme.

Does she have 'TweakUI' or anything like that installed?
