Logon error

I have only had my new computer for about a week, and now when I boot up it
gives me the message automatically "the user name or password is incorrect"
BEFORE I even attempt to type in a user name or password. Then, I am able to
logon by entering my user name and password. Is there any way to get rid of
this annoying error message when I first boot up? It automatically seems to
be trying to log me on with one particular name which turns out to be
incorrect.

Also, it no longer gives me a choice of which user name to logon with unless
I "switch users". How can I change that?

Re: Logon error

and the run menu type

control userpasswords2

Is there a tick in the User must enter a user name and password option?
if not tick it.
