    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.

    Hello,
    Please answer the following :
    1. Is this your ONLY account in the system ?
    2. Is thie admin account set up WITHOUT password ?
    Please reply.

    No, this is not the only account, and it is set up with a password

    Hello,
    Please try the link below. Somehow your admin account had been set "auto logon". That's my conclusion. Use the tutorial, and turn OFF the auto-logon.

    Logon Automatically
