Elliott, Try it this way. Go to Start \ Settings \ Control Panel and open the Passwords icon. Then click the Change Passwords tab and click the Change Windows Password button. Make sure all three fields are completely blank and click the "OK" button to save changes.

Can I go to the area to change passwords and just leave ' password' blank and thereby remove the need to reinsert the password every time I reboot?
