    I just did a reload on my laptop. It formatted everything and now that I have it set up and trying to use it it is asking me for a password. It locks it up. I did not set up a password on it when I set it up as I am the only one that uses it but it locks me out. It asks for a password or the administrator. I am it and have no password. How can I stop this goofy thing from coming up and asking for the password?

    Thanks

    It has my name and asks for a password. I remember it asking if I wanted to set one up during the instillation but I didn't. It doesn't do it all the time but if I let it set for a while. It seems to happen then. I reboot it and it is ok for a while.
