All of you were right but there is an additional step that
must be taken to make it work correctly [I found this out
by accident - love those accidents|sometimes].

Uncheck the "User must enter a user name . . ." but than
hit Ctrl+Alt+delete to change the password. Leave the
Administrator, but make sure the old password, new
password and confirm password are ALL BLANK.

Then, reboot and VIOLA!!!! the box comes up but grayed out
and then everything loads at once. This is TOO COOL!!

Happy Camper,
Ellen
