| | Why does my admin account come up on power up? Everytime I turn on my computer it automatically logs in to my administrator account, bypassing the login screen. I tried to make the administrator account password protected, this only resulted in an improper password screen being displayed when powered up. I want the login/user selection screen to be displayed on power up. |

Somehow your admin account had been set "auto logon". That's my conclusion. Use the tutorial, and turn OFF the auto-logon. Logon Automatically |
