Welcome screen password

Tried this,

I get an error on start up - The system could not log you on. Make sure
your user name and domain are correct, then type your password again....

Is this because I never used to have a password for my User Name, but put
one in when I followed the steps below?

Hi Elton,

You mention Domain and Welcome Screen. Those two don't go together at all.
(

However, what happened here in your case is that you added a password to the
Administrator account. Go back to control userpasswords2 and select your
user name, then follow the rest.

Tip:

Add Control UserPasswords2 to the Control Panel (Line 1)
