    insists on a password and says it is wrong


    Similar sort of problem, tried to set up No Passwords but it insists on a password and says it is wrong (but it isn't). Then I can get into another "me" but only with a PIN. I cannot delete the first "me" or get into it but in Users only one"me" appears. There is no built in Admin account that I can see.
    It is driving me nuts to have 2 "me"s and the constant requests for login passwords/PINs.
    As other people have said if someone else is trying to get onto my Desktop then my house is being burgled and I have bigger problems!!

    :)

  2. multiple users - where is the screen that allows you to choose which user to log on?

    If by "do the reverse" you mean to check the box saying "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" and that is supposed to force the login screen - WRONG!!! It might work if you require a password, but if no password is needed the
    stupid system insists on logging in the last user automatically.

    WHY DOES MICROSOFT MAKE THIS SO HARD TO FIX?????? Completely inexcusable...
