This is how to force automatic login in Windows, and also how to disable the "Press ctrl-alt-del to login" message
- First, open the "Run" window, by pressing the Windows Key + R, or by clicking on the start menu and then on Run.
- Then, type control userpasswords2
- A window, similar to this, will appear:
![user](http://www.serverland.it/static/dandandin.it/img/web/2009/04/user1.png)
Uncheck the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option, and click on OK. You will be prompted to insert the user password for doing the automatic login:
![user](http://www.serverland.it/static/dandandin.it/img/web/2009/04/user2.png)
Instead, if you wanna remove the "press ctrl-alt-del" message at the login, just uncheck the relative option in the second tab:
![user](http://www.serverland.it/static/dandandin.it/img/web/2009/04/user3.png)
Done!
Be careful! Using autologin on a password-protected account, can lead to forgetting the password. This is how to reset the password without knowing it ![](http://serverland.it/static/dandandin.it/img/smiley/teeth_smile.gif)
