All of a sudden, I noticed that my XP Pro system is no longer asking for my
password when I reboot. I didn't make any configuration changes, and I tried
changing the password, but there is no change.
I have my screensaver set to password protect, and that is working normally.
But if I turn the computer off and then restart it later, it starts right up
without ever asking for my password.
Anyone have any ideas? |
