Password Prompt Issue (lacking) [Important]

Issue: Never Prompted for Password at Windows Log-in.

Method:I set a password on my computer via control panel, Restart the
computer as requested, The computer neglects to ask for a password and starts
up on the desktop.

There are No other accounts than my administrative account.

I've had this issue since Windows XP and I am now running Vista. I have
reason to believe that the start of this issue occurred with .NET Passport.

Please help, I've asked this question a few months ago and I've yet to get
feed back.

Hello Justice,

In the Start/search box, type control userpasswords2 then hit enter. Accept
any UAC prompt. Make sure there is a check in the box "Users must enter a
user name and password to use this computer"
