I have a laptop running XP home that I originally set up
with password login. No login screen at startup at all,
just right into the desktop. Now a funny thing has
happened. Literally overnight, a login screen at startup
has appeared, with two accounts, what I assume must be the
main account, and a guest account. Of course, since I
never setup any passwords for the main account, and don't
know a Guest password, I can't login to my machine. Can
anyone help me to understand what might have happened and
how to fix it.

Many thanks in advance,

Alan
