plz help me

[jambay19]

hello folks I have a problem here. I wanted to log on to my PC with a password but even when I log on with an administrator account it doesnt give me the option of signing in with a password. But when I hibernate and then restart my PC the potion of signing in with a password is on. Kindly help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Have you set password for user accounts??

You want the classic login or welcome screen (these are two types of login screens) to appear when you bootup Windows? Then you can check out these pages:

Using Classic Logon: http://www.winbookcorp.com/_technote/WBTA20000811.html

Or, are you having this problem:

I have selected the options but when I restart my PC the option of signing in with a password doesn't come at all. It just loads my personal settings straightaway.

You need to add password to your existing user account. This is described here:

ya I already have set a password. As I said before it doesn't prompt me for a password when I restart but when I hibernate and then reboot I do get that option.

Thank you for trying to help me out. I am using the windows vista menu for my xp and when I type the command in the run box nothing happens.
